To solve this problem, we need to use basic arithmetic. We start with an initial balance of $100 and we want to reach a balance of $343.

Each week, Destiny deposits $27 into the account.

To find the number of weeks it will take for the account to reach $343, we can subtract the initial balance from the desired balance ($343 - $100 = $243).

Then, we divide the desired balance by the weekly deposit amount ($243 / $27 = 9).

Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks to reach a balance of $343 in her account.

So, the correct answer is: 9 weeks.
