Destiny opens a checking account with $100 and then deposits $27 each week. How many weeks will it take her account to reach $349

Answer 1

To find the number of weeks it will take for Destiny's account to reach $349, we can set up the following equation:

$100 + $27x = $349

Where x represents the number of weeks.

Now, let's solve for x:

$27x = $349 - $100
$27x = $249

Divide both sides of the equation by $27:

x = $249 / $27
x ≈ 9.222

Round up the decimal to the nearest whole number since we can't have a fraction of a week.

Therefore, it will take Destiny approximately 10 weeks for her account to reach $349.
