First, determine the number of computers that are needed for 924 students.

n = (924 students)(5 computers / 12 students)
n = 385 computers

Since, there are only 125 computers, the difference can be calculated.

d = 385 computers - 125 computers

d = 260 computers

Hence, 260 more computers are still needed.
