Answer:

She will cycle 85.169 miles in the third week.

(round if needed)

Step-by-step explanation:

56÷100=0.56 (this is 1%)

0.56 x 15 + 56 = 64.4 (you find 15% then add 56 (the original amount) because it's an increase of 15%)

repeat for the other 3 weeks

64.4÷100=0.644

0.644 x 15 + 64.4 = 74.06

74.06÷100=0.7406

0.7406 x 15 + 74.06 = 85.169
