Sadly everyone who answered did not understand your question and gave their answers in decimal form when you, in fact, asked for it in fractions.
So
Multiply 18,000 by 1 3/4
= 18,000 x 7/4
= 126000/4
= 31500
Same answer but done in fractions as you asked.

Times the 18,000 by 1.75 that equals...........$31,500. But if you don't sell it this week that price will be headed back down with the way the market is going :)

49,500.
175% increase. 100% increase would be $36,000
75% of 18,000 is 13,500
Add them together
