To solve this problem, we need to find the number of weeks it will take for Destiny's account balance to reach $343.
Initially, Destiny has $100 in her account. Each week, she deposits an additional $27.
Let's assume it will take "x" weeks for her account balance to reach $343.
After the first week, her account balance will be:
$100 (initial balance) + $27 (deposit) = $127
After the second week, her account balance will be:
$127 (previous balance) + $27 (deposit) = $154
Following this pattern, we can write the equation:
100 + 27x = 343
To solve for x, we need to isolate it. First, subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 27:
x = 243 / 27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account balance to reach $343.
