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 her account to reach $343?(1 point) Responses 16.4 weeks 16.4 weeks 12.7 weeks 12.7 weeks 9 weeks 9 weeks 3.16 weeks

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation:

$100 + 27w = $343

Here, "w" represents the number of weeks it takes for Destiny's account to reach $343.

Simplifying the equation, we get:

27w = 343 - 100

27w = 243

Dividing both sides of the equation by 27, we find:

w = 9

Therefore, it will take her account 9 weeks to reach $343. Hence, the correct response is 9 weeks.
