    Option C

    Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes

    Solution:

    Given that,

    Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it

    The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students

    So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students

    Therefore,

    number of prizes = 2 x 109 students

    number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes

    The box has 88 prizes in it

    Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:

    ⇒ 218 - 88 = 130

    Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes
