    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number of collectibles with Maria = x

    The number of collectibles with Mark = 5x

    The number of collectibles with Jim = (5x - 6) / 2

    (5x - 6) / 2 = 112

    5x - 6 = 112 * 2

    5x - 6 = 224

    5x = 224 + 6

    5x = 230

    x = 230/5

    x = 46

    The number of collectibles with Maria = 46
