Kris currently has $190 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer She wants at least $1,625 by the end of the summer Write and solve an inequality for the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend Which answer choice best interprets the solution in the context of the problem?
ANSWERS
A. Kris needs $179.38 more to meet her goal
B. Kris needs $13.13 each hour to meet her goal
C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal
D. Kris needs to earn $105 more to meet her goal
Let x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Since there are 8 weekends in total, Kris will earn a total of 8x dollars.
The inequality for the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend is 8x ≥ 1625.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 8, we get x ≥ 203.125.
The correct answer choice that best interprets the solution in the context of the problem is:
C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
