Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of leaves that were raked by Adam be x. Now, Taiwan raked 5% more leaves. This means that Tapiwah raked x plus 5% of x leaves. Knowing that Tapiwah actually raked 357 liters, we can find the value of x as follows.

x + 5% ∗ x = 357

x + 0.05 x = 357

1.05 x = 357

x = 357

1.05

∴ x =340

Thus, Adam raked 340 liters of leaves.

Answer 2

Answer:

340

Step-by-step explanation:

357/100=3.57

3.57=1%

3.57x5=17.85

17.85-0.85=17

357-17=340
