Answer 2

Explanation:

Given: If Sergio has
`\text{p}` paintings in his art collection and he and other collectors donate a total of
`48` paintings each of the
`12` will donate the same number of paintings.

To Find: Number of paintings Sergio have left.

Solution:

Number of paintings Sergio initially have
`=\text{p}`

Total number of paintings donated
`=48`

Total number of Collectors
`=12`

As each collector donate the same number of painting

Paintings donated by each collector
`=\frac{\text{Total number of paintings}}{\text{Number of collectors}}`

`(48)/(12)=4`

Therefore Paintings donated by Sergio
`=4`

Total number of paintings Sergio have left
`=\text{Number of paintings Sergio have}-\text{total number of paintings Sergio donated}`

`=\text{p}-4`

Hence Sergio have left
`\text{p}-4` Paintings
