Answer:

2

Explanation:

Currently, Peter has run a total distance of
400\cdot 23 =9200\:\text{m}. His goal is 10 km, as stated in the problem, which equates to 10,000 meters. Thus he will need to run
10,000-9,200=800 more meters to achieve his goal. Since the track is 400 meters, he needs to run around the track
(800)/(400)=\boxed{2} more times to achieve his goal.
