Kris currently has $190 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer. She wants at least $1,625 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?
Options:
Kris’s needs to earn $13.13 each hour to meet her goal
Kris’s needs to earn $105 more to meet her goal
Kris’s needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal
Kris’s needs $179.38 more to meet her goal
Let x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
The total amount of money Kris needs to earn over the summer is 8x.
The inequality representing Kris's goal is 190 + 8x ≥ 1625.
Subtracting 190 from both sides of the inequality, we get 8x ≥ 1435.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 8, we get x ≥ 179.38.
The best interpretation of the solution in the context of the problem is that Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal. Therefore, the correct answer is Kris’s needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
