Solve the following real-world problem destiny opens a checking account with $100 dollars and than deposit $27 dollars each week how many weeks will it take for her account to reach $343
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to represent the situation.
Let "x" represent the number of weeks it takes for Destiny's account to reach $343.
The initial balance in her checking account is $100.
Each subsequent week, she deposits $27.
So, after x weeks, her account balance can be represented by the equation:
100 + 27x = 343
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
Next, we divide both sides by 27 to solve for x:
x = 243/27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account balance to reach $343.
