The soap manufacturer has increased the size of his bottles. This means that 18.4 ounce bottle is bigger than the original size of the bottle. The bottle was increased by 5%, this means that the new bottle is 105% (100% + 5%) bigger than the initial size of the bottle.

To determine the original size of the bottle, this formula would be used:

New bottle size / total percentage increase in the bottle = initial size of the bottle

18.4 / 1.05 = 17.5 ounces
