Let's start by determining how much more money Kris needs to earn in total.
- Kris currently has $190.
- Her goal is to have at least $1,625 by the end of the summer.
To find out how much more money Kris needs to earn, we can subtract her current amount from her goal:
\[ 1,625 - 190 = 1,435 \]
So, Kris needs to earn a total of $1,435 over the 8 weekends.
Let \( x \) represent the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend. Since there are 8 weekends:
\[ 8x \geq 1,435 \]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
\[ x \geq \frac{1,435}{8} \]
Calculating the right side:
\[ x \geq 179.375 \]
Since we typically round to two decimal places in financial contexts, this means:
\[ x \geq 179.38 \]
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
The correct interpretation of the solution in the context of the problem is:
Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
