Let us suppose the weight of the large bottle is 25 ounce
the weight of small bottle would then be 25*2/5 = 10 ounce
Let us suppose the price of the large bottle is $ 50
the price of small bottle would then be $25
The price per ounce of the liquid in the small bottle would be
25/10 = 2.5
The price per ounce of the liquid in the large bottle would be
50/25 = 2
