Q. Sergio has

p

paintings in his art collection. He and other local painting collectors agreed to donate a total of

48

paintings to the local museum. Each of the

12

collectors will donate the same number of paintings.

\newline

How many paintings will Sergio have in his art collection after his donation?

paintings

Calculate Paintings per Collector: First, we need to figure out how many paintings each collector is donating. There are $48$ paintings being donated in total and $12$ collectors, so we divide $48$ by $12$ . $\newline$ $48 \div 12 = 4$ paintings per collector.
Find Sergio's Remaining Paintings: Now we know each collector, including Sergio, will donate $4$ paintings. To find out how many paintings Sergio will have left, we subtract the number of paintings he donates from his original number of paintings, $p$ . $\newline$ $p - 4 = p - 4 \text{ paintings left.}$
