#67.22g# of the substance must be burned to release that much heat.

Explanation:

#834.20kJ((mol)/(1110.0kJ))((89.45g)/(mol)) = 67.22g#

The reason the sign was changed is because "releasing" heat in the question implies an exothermic system. That's exactly what this substance is, so the signs were matched.
