To solve the problem, we need to find the number of weeks it takes for Destiny's account to reach $343.

We can set up an equation to represent the problem. Let's assume it takes x weeks.

The initial amount in the account is $100.
For each week, $27 is added to the account.

Therefore, the equation becomes:

100 + 27x = 343

Now, let's solve for x:

27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
x = 243/27
x = 9

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

The correct response is: 9 weeks
