To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's represent the number of weeks as "w".
Given that Destiny deposits $27 each week, the total amount in her account after w weeks would be 200 + 27w.
We want to find the number of weeks it takes for the account to reach $343, so we can set up the following equation:
200 + 27w = 343
To isolate the variable, we can subtract 200 from both sides:
27w = 343 - 200
27w = 143
Finally, we can solve for w by dividing both sides by 27:
w = 143/27
w ≈ 5.296
Since we cannot have a fraction of a week, we need to round up to the nearest whole number.
It will take Destiny approximately 6 weeks for her account to reach $343.
