Kris currently has $190 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer. She wants at least $1625 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?
A. Kris needs 179.38 more to meet her goal
B. Kris needs to earn $105 more to meet her goal
C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal
D. Kris needs to earn $13.13 each hour to meet her goal
Let's say Kris needs to earn x dollars each weekend.
Since there are 8 weekends in the summer, the total amount of money Kris needs to earn is 8 * x.
We know that Kris currently has $190, so the equation becomes: 190 + 8x ≥ 1625.
To solve for x, we first subtract 190 from both sides of the equation, giving us:
8x ≥ 1435.
Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
x ≥ 179.375.
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal, which means that the best interpretation is answer choice C.
