SOLUTION:

Let capacity of smaller tank be S

Then capacity of larger tank = S + 300

At  capacity, smaller tank will have: 

At  capacity, larger tank will have: 

Since the above amounts are equal, we get: 

2(2S) = 3(S + 300) ------- Cross-multiplying

4S = 3S + 900

S, or capacity of smaller tank = 

Capacity of larger tank =
