Respuesta :

Answer:

Since there are 48 paintings being donated by 12 collectors, then we can say that each collector will donate 4 paintings.

This means that Sergio will have 4 less paintings then he had before, which was represented by pp . Thus, our expression is now \boxed{p - 4}p−4 .

Answer:

Sergio would have 4 paintings less

Step-by-step explanation:

48 total painting

12 painting collectors donated

They all donated the same amount

So each local painting collector donates the same amount of paintings

so 48 divided by 12 = 4

So each painting collector would donate 4 painting each

We don't know how much painting Sergio had in total before but we do know how much he donated which is 4
