Question

Tapiwa raked 5% more than adam. Tapioca raked 357 liters of leaves hw many liters of leaves did adam rake?

Answer 1

Adam raked 340 liters of leaves.

Explanation:

Suppose, the amount of leaves Adam raked is
`x` liters.

Given that, Tapioca raked 5% more than Adam.

So, the amount of leaves Tapioca raked
`=(x+0.05x) liters = 1.05x` liters.

As Tapioca raked 357 liters of leaves, so the equation will be.........

`1.05x=357\\ \\ x=(357)/(1.05)=340`

Thus, Adam raked 340 liters of leaves.
