Q. Sergio has

p

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

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, $p$ . $\newline$ $p - 4 = p - 4 \text{ paintings left.}$
