an object weighing 15 newtons is lifted from the ground to a height of 0.22 meter. What is the approximate increase in the object's gravitational potential energy?

Multiply the two numbers. That will be the answer, in Joules
but what about gravity? Why not 15x9.81x.22?
15 N is mass *acceleration. In this case, acceleration= gravity.
Time them together without 9.8
