SOLVE THE FOLLOWING REAL WORLD PROBLEM!!!!-
Destiny opens a checking account with $100 then deposits $27 each week . How many weeks will it take her to reach $343
A. 16.4 WEEKS
B. 12.7 WEEKS
C. 9 WEEKS
D. 3.16 WEEKS
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation:
Initial amount + (weekly deposits * number of weeks) = desired amount
$100 + ($27 * x) = $343
Now we need to solve for x, which represents the number of weeks it will take to reach $343.
$27x = $343 - $100
$27x = $243
Dividing both sides by $27:
x = $243 / $27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take her 9 weeks to reach $343. The answer is C. 9 weeks.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many weeks it will take for Destiny to reach $343 in her checking account.
Initially, Destiny has $100 in her account. We know she deposits $27 each week. So, the amount in her account after n weeks can be represented by the equation:
100 + 27n = 343
To find the value of n, we need to solve this equation.
First, let's subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27n = 343 - 100
27n = 243
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 27 to isolate n:
n = 243 / 27
n = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks to reach $343 in her checking account.
The correct answer is C. 9 weeks.
To solve this real-world problem, we need to determine how many weeks it will take for Destiny to reach $343 in her checking account.
First, let's analyze the problem. Destiny starts with $100 in her account and deposits $27 each week. So each week, her account balance increases by $27.
To find the number of weeks it will take for her balance to reach $343, we can set up an equation:
100 + 27x = 343
In this equation, x represents the number of weeks. 100 is the initial balance, 27x represents the total amount deposited over x weeks, and 343 is the desired balance.
To solve for x, we can subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 27:
x = 243 / 27
x ≈ 9
So, Destiny will reach a balance of $343 in approximately 9 weeks.
The correct answer is C. 9 weeks.
