To solve this problem, we need to determine how many weeks it will take for Destiny's account balance to reach $343.

We can start by subtracting her initial deposit of $100 from the target balance of $343:
$343 - $100 = $243

Next, we divide the remaining amount by the weekly deposit amount of $27 to determine how many weeks it will take for Destiny's account balance to reach $243:
$243 รท $27 = 9

Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
