Given: If Sergio has [tex]\text{p}[/tex] paintings in his art collection and he and other collectors donate a total of [tex]48[/tex] paintings each of the [tex]12[/tex] will donate the same number of paintings.
To Find: Number of paintings Sergio have left.
Solution:
Number of paintings Sergio initially have [tex]=\text{p}[/tex]
Total number of paintings donated [tex]=48[/tex]
Total number of Collectors [tex]=12[/tex]
As each collector donate the same number of painting
Paintings donated by each collector[tex]=\frac{\text{Total number of paintings}}{\text{Number of collectors}}[/tex]
