9 weeks
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to represent the situation:
$100 + $27x = $343
where x represents the number of weeks.
To find x, we can subtract $100 from both sides of the equation:
$27x = $343 - $100
$27x = $243
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by $27 to solve for x:
x = $243 / $27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
