Using proportions, the amounts are given as follows:
- Volume after [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] is drained out: [tex]\frac{7x}{10}[/tex]
- New stock: [tex]\frac{13x}{10}[/tex]
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the amounts are found as follows:
- 18% off its list price (x), that is, 82% of x, hence 0.82x.
- Sells for 18% more, that is, 118% = 1.18 of x, hence 1.18x.
- When three tenths of the volume is drained out, the remainder is 100% = 1x subtracted from that, hence [tex]\frac{7x}{10}[/tex].
- For the new stock, three tenths of x plus the current stock of x, hence [tex]\frac{3}{10}x + x = \frac{13}{10}x[/tex].
