Solve the following real-world problem: Destiny opens a checking account with $100 and then deposits $27 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $343?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation where the starting balance plus the weekly deposits multiplied by the number of weeks equals the desired account balance.

Let's denote the number of weeks as "w."
The equation would be: $100 + $27w = $343

To solve for "w," we need to isolate the variable w on one side of the equation:
$27w = $343 - $100
$27w = $243

Dividing both sides of the equation by 27:
w = 243 / 27
w = 9

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