To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for the account to reach $343.
The equation can be written as:
$100 + $27x = $343
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Subtract $100 from both sides:
$27x = $343 - $100
$27x = $243
Divide both sides by $27:
x = $243 / $27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
