Let x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Since there are 8 weekends in the summer, Kris will earn a total of 8x dollars.
The total amount of money Kris will have by the end of the summer is $190 + 8x.
According to the problem, Kris needs at least $1,625 by the end of the summer.
So we can write the inequality:
190 + 8x ≥ 1625
To solve for x, we subtract 190 from both sides:
8x ≥ 1435
Then, divide both sides by 8:
x ≥ 179.375
The best interpretation of the solution is:
Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
