A.
the sum of the all number of cans collected must be greater than or equal to 325:
135 + 89 + c >= 325
*note that >= is "greater than or equal to" symbol here. but the symbol must be really a greater than symbol with an underline.

B. we just solve for c.
224 + c >= 325
c >= 325 - 224
c >= 101

thus they need 101 cans to meet their goal.
