The town of lantana needs 14,000 for a new playground. Lantana elementary school raised 5,358, lantana middle school raised 2,834 and lantana high school raised 4,132.

Assuming the question is "how much more money needs to be raised..."

Add the contributions:

5,358 + 2,834 + 4,132 = 12,324 < this is the current total amount raised. subtract this from the goal, 14,000 to find out much more money is needed for the playground.

14,000 - 12,324 = 1,676

 $1,676  is still needed in order to create the playground.
