Chris currently has $190 and plants to earn more money each of the eight weekends this summer. She wants at least 1625 by the end of the summer right and solve an inequality for the amount of money. Chris needs to earn each weekend which answer choice best interprets the solution in the context of the problem.
The inequality that represents the problem is:
190 + 8x ≥ 1625
Where x represents the amount of money Chris needs to earn each weekend.
The solution to the inequality is:
x ≥ (1625 - 190) / 8
x ≥ 1435 / 8
x ≥ 179.375
In the context of the problem, this means that Chris needs to earn at least $179.375 each weekend in order to have at least $1625 by the end of the summer.
