Let's assume that Kris will earn an additional x amount of money each weekend.
Since Kris wants at least $1,625 by the end of the summer, and she currently has $190, we can write the inequality as:
190 + 8x ≥ 1625
To solve for x, we can subtract 190 from both sides of the inequality:
8x ≥ 1435
Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 8:
x ≥ 179.375
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least $179.375 each weekend.
