1 answer

To find the number of weeks it will take Destiny's account to reach $343, we need to determine how many weeks it takes for her total deposits to reach or exceed $343.

If Destiny deposits $27 each week, the equation representing her deposits can be written as:

$27 * number of weeks = total deposits

Let's solve this equation to find the number of weeks:

$27 * number of weeks = $343

Dividing both sides of the equation by $27:

number of weeks = $343 / $27

Calculating the division:

number of weeks = 12.7

Therefore, it will take 12.7 weeks for Destiny's account to reach $343.

The correct answer is: 12.7 weeks
