To calculate Sarah's water intake after the third week of increase, we need to multiply her current intake by 1.05 three times.
First, we calculate her water intake after the first week of increase:
224 ounces * 1.05 = 235.2 ounces
Next, we calculate her water intake after the second week of increase:
235.2 ounces * 1.05 = 246.48 ounces
Finally, we calculate her water intake after the third week of increase:
246.48 ounces * 1.05 = 258.8
Rounded to the nearest ounce, Sarah will drink 259 ounces of water after the third week of increase.
