Solution

First, we need to find out how much time Andy took to complete 15 laps the first time. We know that he took 50 minutes.

Next, we need to calculate 18% of this time because Andy took 18% more time to complete the 15 laps the second time.

18% of 50 minutes is calculated as follows: 18/100 * 50 = 9 minutes

So, Andy took 9 minutes more to complete the 15 laps the second time.

Finally, we add this extra time to the original time to find out how much time Andy took to complete the 15 laps the second time.

50 minutes (original time) + 9 minutes (extra time) = 59 minutes

So, Andy took 59 minutes to complete the 15 laps for the second time.
