3.16 weeks

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation:

$100 + $27 each week * n (number of weeks) = $343

Simplifying the equation,

$27n = $343 - $100
$27n = $243

And dividing both sides of the equation by $27,

n = 243 / 27
n = 9

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