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? (1 point)
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation where the initial amount is $100 and Destiny makes a deposit of $27 per week. We want to find out how many weeks it will take for the account balance to reach $343.
Let's say the number of weeks it will take is represented by "x".
The equation can be written as:
$100 + $27x = $343
To solve for x, we can subtract $100 from both sides of the equation:
$27x = $343 - $100
$27x = $243
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by $27:
x = $243 / $27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
