Answer 1

To find out how many weeks it will take for Destiny's account to reach $343, we can set up the equation:

$100 + $27x = $343

Where x represents the number of weeks.

Simplifying the equation, we have:

$27x = $243

Dividing both sides of the equation by $27:

x = 9

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