Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use the equation:

Total amount in the account = Initial deposit + (Number of weeks * Weekly deposit)

We want to find the number of weeks, so we'll rearrange the equation:

(Number of weeks * Weekly deposit) = Total amount in the account - Initial deposit

(Number of weeks * 27) = 343 - 100

Number of weeks = (343 - 100) / 27

Number of weeks ≈ 9

Therefore, it will take approximately 9 weeks for Destiny's account to reach $343.
