To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation to represent the situation.
Let's suppose it takes "x" weeks for Destiny's account to reach $343.
Since she starts with $100 and deposits $27 each week, we can express the amount of money in her account after "x" weeks as:
100 + 27x
Now, we can set up an equation to solve for "x":
100 + 27x = 343
To isolate "x", we subtract 100 from both sides:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
To solve for "x", we divide both sides by 27:
x = 243 / 27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
The correct response is: 9 weeks.
