2331

Explanation:

First let's just put variables for everything...
James collects #J# stickers. Donna collects #D# stickers.

James has 4163 stickers. #J=4163#.
Donna has 1832 fewer stickers than James. #D=J-1832#.

Now, you have an equation. Since you have a direct value for #J# substitute that into the equation:

#D=\color(red)(J)-1832=\color(red)(4163)-1832=2331#

Donna has 2331 stickers.
