Kris needs to earn $13.13 each hour to meet her goal.
© Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
Kris needs to earn $105 more to meet her goal.
• Kris needs $179.38 more to meet her goal.
Let's let x represent the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
The total amount of money she will earn over 8 weekends is 8x.
We can write the inequality as:
8x + 190 ≥ 1625
To solve for x, we subtract 190 from both sides:
8x ≥ 1435
Then, divide both sides by 8:
x ≥ 179.38
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
The answer choice that best interprets the solution in the context of the problem is:
Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
