Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount that Lantana town needs for a new playground is 14,000 dollars.

Lantana Elementary School raised 5,358 dollars, Lantana Middle School raised 2,834 dollars and Lantana High School raised 4,132 dollars. The total amount that was raised by each school is

5358 + 2834 + 4132 = $12324

Therefore, the remaining amount of money that the town needs to raise is

14000 - 12324 = $1676
