Assume that the number of leaves raked by Adam is x. Tapiwa raked 5% more leaves than Adam, this means that: Leaves raked by Tapiwa = x + 0.05x = 1.05x liters We are given that the total number of raked leaves is 697 liters. This means that: Total raked = raked by Adam + raked by Tapiwa 697 = x + 1.05x 697 = 2.05x x = 697 / 2.05 x = 340 Based on the above calculations: Adam raked 340 liters of leaves Tapiwa raked 1.05(340) = 357 liters of leaves
