Let's say Kris needs to earn x dollars each weekend.
Since there are 8 weekends in total, Kris will earn 8x dollars in total.
The problem states that Kris currently has $190 and wants at least $1,625 by the end of the summer.
Therefore, we can write the following inequality:
190 + 8x ≥ 1,625
Now, let's solve for x:
8x ≥ 1,625 - 190
8x ≥ 1,435
x ≥ 1,435/8
x ≥ 179.38
The solution to the inequality is x ≥ 179.38, which means Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is:
Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
