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) Responses 12.7 weeks 12.7 weeks 9 weeks 9 weeks 3.16 weeks 3.16 weeks 16.4 weeks
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to find the number of weeks it will take for Destiny's account to reach $343. Let's call the number of weeks "w":
100 + 27w = 343
To solve for "w", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. First, subtract 100 from both sides:
27w = 343 - 100
27w = 243
Then, divide both sides by 27 to solve for "w":
w = 243 / 27
w = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
