Okay, the image is a little tough to see, but I believe it looks something like this:
(5² -10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
The first step [remember PEMDAS] is parentheses
Next comes Exponents:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
Then Multiplication:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 12) - 1
Then Division [which we can't do yet since it isn't fully simplified], so we skip to Addition... nothing again, then subtraction.
(15 / 5) - 1
Then we can divide:
(3) - 1
Then subtract!
2
The answer to your problem is 2.
Hope that helps!

Define their percentage:
----------------------------------
Adam = 100%
Tapiwa = 100 + 5 = 105%
----------------------------------
Find their total percentage:
----------------------------------
100 + 105 = 205
----------------------------------
Find 1%
----------------------------------
205% = 697 liters
1% = 3.4 liters
----------------------------------
Find 100% (Adam):
----------------------------------
100% = 3.4 x 100
100% = 340 liters
----------------------------------
Find 105% (Tapiwa):
----------------------------------
105% = 3.4 x 105
105% = 357 liters
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tapiwa = 357 liters and Adam = 340 liters.
