Answer:
Adam raked 340 liters of leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose, the amount of leaves Adam raked is [tex]x[/tex] liters.
Given that, Tapioca raked 5% more than Adam.
So, the amount of leaves Tapioca raked [tex]=(x+0.05x) liters = 1.05x[/tex] liters.
As Tapioca raked 357 liters of leaves, so the equation will be.........
[tex]1.05x=357\\ \\ x=\frac{357}{1.05}=340[/tex]
Thus, Adam raked 340 liters of leaves.
