    n ≥ 3.74

    Min #of friends = 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are some info missing. Let me say those:

    Given

    Cost of Headphones = $345

    Grandma and Uncle will give = $45

    Now let x be the donation of each friend, so x = 20, and

    let y be the correct answer friends, y = 0.25

    Now, let n represent the number of friends who's gonna give Benjamin $0.25.

    Also, we know his Total Income must be greater than or equal to the cost for him to buy the headphone. Thus we can say:

    Total Income ≥ Cost

    Cost = 345

    TOtal Income = 45 (from relatives) + 4n (20) (4n donation friends each giving 20) + 0.25n (n people giving 0.25 each).

    Thus, we have:

    Total Income ≥ Cost

    45 + 80n + 0.25n ≥ 345

    80.25n ≥ 300

    n ≥ 3.74

    Therefore, the minimum number of friends who must pay Benjamin $0.25 for each correct answer in order for him to meet his goal is 4.
