SOLVE THE FOLLOWING REAL WORLD PROBLEM!!!!-

Destiny opens a checking account with $100 then deposits $27 each week . How many weeks will it take her to reach $343
A. 16.4 WEEKS
B. 12.7 WEEKS
C. 9 WEEKS
D. 3.16 WEEKS

1 answer

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

Initial amount + (weekly deposits * number of weeks) = desired amount

$100 + ($27 * x) = $343

Now we need to solve for x, which represents the number of weeks it will take to reach $343.

$27x = $343 - $100
$27x = $243

Dividing both sides by $27:

x = $243 / $27
x = 9

Therefore, it will take her 9 weeks to reach $343. The answer is C. 9 weeks.
