Assume that the number of leaves raked by Adam is x.
Tapiwa raked 5% more leaves than Adam, this means that:
Leaves raked by Tapiwa = x + 0.05x = 1.05x liters
We are given that the total number of raked leaves is 697 liters.
This means that:
Total raked = raked by Adam + raked by Tapiwa
697 = x + 1.05x
697 = 2.05x
x = 697 / 2.05
x = 340
Based on the above calculations:
Adam raked 340 liters of leaves
Tapiwa raked 1.05(340) = 357 liters of leaves
He deposited $29, so a $29 dollar difference
This is a quadratic equation because it has degree 2.
As known as a parabola
