To solve this problem, we can set up an equation.
Let the number of weeks be represented by 'w'.
The initial amount in the account is $100. Each week, Destiny deposits $27. So after w weeks, the total amount in the account can be represented by the equation:
100 + 27w = 343
To solve for 'w', we can subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27w = 343 - 100
27w = 243
Now, we can divide 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.
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?
