What the question means is that if you have 5 p's and you take 1 p, how many p's do you stay with.
Same as, if you have a full hand of 5 fingers and hide one, how many fingers can you see?
The p in your exercise is an unknown variable and can represent anything like fingers, bananas, oranges, etc.
The correct answer would be 4p.
