#340# liters of leaves

Explanation:

Suppose Adam raked = #x# liters of leaves

Then, Tapiwa raked = #1.05x# liters of leaves (as #5% can be written as #5/100# which is #0.05#)

Total leaves raked = #697# liters

Therefore, #x + 1.05x# = #697#

or #2.05x# = #697#

or #x# = #cancel697^340/cancel2.05^1# = #340#

So, Adam raked = #340# liters of leaves
