kris currently has 190 dollars and plans to earn more money each week of the 8 weekends this summer. she wants at least 1,625 dollars 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 x be the amount of money Kris needs to earn each weekend.
Over the course of 8 weekends, Kris will earn 8x dollars.
Kris currently has 190 dollars, so her total amount of money earned by the end of the summer will be 190 + 8x dollars.
According to the problem, Kris wants at least 1,625 dollars by the end of the summer, so we can write the inequality as follows:
190 + 8x ≥ 1,625
Subtracting 190 from both sides, we get:
8x ≥ 1,625 - 190
Simplifying the right side, we get:
8x ≥ 1,435
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x ≥ 1,435/8
Therefore, Kris needs to earn at least 179.375 dollars each weekend to have at least 1,625 dollars by the end of the summer.
