Explanation:

Step1: Define variable for new students

Let $x$ = number of additional students.

Step2: Set up minimum requirement inequality

The total students need to be at least 24:
$16 + x \geq 24$

Step3: Solve for $x$

Subtract 16 from both sides:
$x \geq 24 - 16$
$x \geq 8$

Answer:

B. The number of students that the club needs is at least 8.
