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
16.4 weeks
16.4 weeks
9 weeks
9 weeks
3.16 weeks
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation:
$100 + $27 each week * n (number of weeks) = $343
Simplifying the equation,
$27n = $343 - $100
$27n = $243
And dividing both sides of the equation by $27,
n = 243 / 27
n = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
