Let's assume Kris needs to earn $x each weekend.
According to the information given, Kris plans to earn money for 8 weekends. So the total amount she will earn is 8x.
We are also told that she wants to have at least $1,625 by the end of the summer. So we can write the inequality:
190 + 8x ≥ 1625
Simplifying this inequality, we get:
8x ≥ 1435
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 8, we get:
x ≥ 179.38
So 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."
