Once you remove the cost of the canvas from the total price, you're left with only the cost of the 8 tubes of paint.
This is represented by
$ 24.95 - $ 6.95 = $ 18
If 8 tubes of paint cost $18, then all we have to do is divide 18 by 8 to get the cost of each individual tube of paint.
Thus
$ 18 8 = $ 2.25
is the cost for one tube of paint.
