    Adam raked 340 liters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bob raked more leaves than Adam

    5% more means take 100 % and add 5% = 105%

    105% as a decimal is 1.05

    Bob = 1.05 * Adam

    We know Bob raked 357

    357 = 1.05 Adam

    Divide by 1.05

    357/1.05 = 1.05/1.05 Adam

    340 = Adam
