Question

Problem

Tapiwa raked 5%, percent more leaves than Adam raked. Tapiwa raked 357liters of leaves.
How many liters of leaves did Adam rake?

Answer 1

339.15

Explanation:

5% is equal to 1/20, so we can use 1/20 in place of 5%. All that needs to be done is to determine 1/20 of 357 and subtract the result (we subtract because Tapiwa raked more than Adam)

357 x 1/20 = 17.85

357 - 17.85
339.15
