Let's solve the inequality to find the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Let x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Since Kris plans to earn money each of the 8 weekends, she would earn a total of 8x dollars.
She currently has 190 dollars, so the total amount of money Kris will have by the end of the summer is 190 + 8x.
According to the problem, Kris wants to have at least $1,625 by the end of the summer, so we can write the inequality as:
190 + 8x ≥ 1,625
Subtracting 190 from both sides:
8x ≥ 1,625 - 190
8x ≥ 1,435
Dividing both sides by 8:
x ≥ 179.375
So, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
The best answer choice that interprets the solution in the context of the problem is:
Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
