Tapiwa raked %5, percent more leaves than Adam raked. Together, they raked 697 liters of leaves. How many liters of leaves did Adam rake?

If we assume that Adam raked x liters of the leaves then Tapiwa raked 105% of the liters of leaves by Adam (1.05 x liters). But, we know that the total liters of leaves are 697.

Thus x + 1.05 x = 697

= 2.05 x = 697

thus x = 340

Thus Adam raked 340 liters of leaves while Tapiwa raked 357 liters

Hence the number of liters by Adam as required in the question is 340 liters.
