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.

Answer 1

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.
