Let x represent the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Total amount she needs to earn by the end of the summer: 1625 - 190 = 1435
Inequality: 8x ≥ 1435
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x ≥ 1435 / 8
x ≥ 179.38
Therefore, the correct answer choice is:
C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal.
