I have a table that keeps the stock. What I want to do is reduce the stock quantity by a % and then calculate the remaining stock. How would I do this as an SQL Statement? The table I have is called Stock and the fields in it are StockID, product, quantity and Price.

Why not just something like this:

SQL

SELECT WarehouseID, FishType, (Stock * 0.7), Price FROM Warehouse;

Good luck!

That works, but how would I show the new price of the new stock?

Price * (Stock * 0.7)

You can't name subexpressions in your query because they aren't shown in the end result. Remove "AS NewStock" and it will wortk. You would need to include both expressions separately in your query. Something like:
(Stock * 0.7) AS NewStock, (FishPrice * (Stock * 0.7)) AS NewPrice
