In the post by @mananth, the solution is FATALLY WRONG and explained INCORRECTLY.
I came to make the job in a right way as it SHOULD be done.
The total price for the mixture is 0.45*8 + 1.08*10 = 14.40 dollars.
The total volume of the mixture is 8 liters + 10 liters = 18 liters.
Therefore, it is logical to assume that this mixture should be sell at the price
 = 0.8 dollars per liter, or 80 cents per liter.
In compact form, the formula for the price per liter is
 = 0.80 dollars per liter. ANSWER
Solved and explained in a right way, as it should be done.
For the peace in your mind, ignore that nonsense in the post by @mananth.
