Let x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
The total amount of money Kris needs to earn is 8x.
According to the problem, 8x ≥ 1625 - 190.
8x ≥ 1435
x ≥ 179.375
The solution x ≥ 179.375 means that Kris needs to earn at least $179.375 each weekend.
The best interpretation for this solution in the context of the problem is that Kris needs to earn at least $179.375 each weekend in order to have at least $1625 at the end of the summer.
