Paul should sell 3 paintings per hour to recover his cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total paintings = 32

Minimum amount to sale = 17

Paintings sold = 3

Paintings left = 17 - 3 = 14

Time left = 5 hours

Therefore, he needs to sell 14 paintings in 5 hours.

5 hours = 14 paintings

1 hour = \frac{14}{5} = 2.8\ paintings

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

2.8 paintings = 3 paintings

Paul should sell 3 paintings per hour to recover his cost.
