Answer 1

Kris currently has $190 and wants to have at least $1,625 by the end of the summer. To find out how much money she needs to earn each weekend we need to subtract the money she already has from the money she wants to have and divide that by the number of weekends.

$1,625 - $190 = $1,435

$1,435 ÷ 8 = $179.38

So, Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to reach her goal.

Answer choice C. Kris needs to earn at least $179.38 each weekend to meet her goal. is the best interpretation of the solution in the context of the problem.
