Sarah drinks about 224 ounces of water each week. She would like to increase this amount by 5% each week. How much water will she drink after the third week of increase? Round your answer to the nearest ounce.(1 point)
After the first week, Sarah will drink 224 + (224 * 5/100) = 224 + 11.2 = 235.2 ounces.
After the second week, she will drink 235.2 + (235.2 * 5/100) = 235.2 + 11.76 = 246.96 ounces.
After the third week, she will drink 246.96 + (246.96 * 5/100) = 246.96 + 12.348 = 259.308 ounces.
Rounding to the nearest ounce, Sarah will drink about 259 ounces after the third week. Answer: \boxed{259}.
