    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
