Answer:

First option is correct.

Explanation:

Normally, Pete's dad deposits $25 into his bank account every week.

Now, he wants to deposit x extra dollars for 8 weeks. So, the total deposits for these 8 weeks will be:

8*(25 + x)

He wants to keep the total deposits above 500. So

8*(25 + x) > 500

Now we solve the inequality similarly to how we would solve an equality.

8*(25 + x) > 500

200 + 8x > 500

8x > 500 - 200

8x > 300

x > 300/8

x > $37.50

So the first option is correct.
