Answer:

$5.70

Explanation:

let the price for each canvas be $x

hence the price of 4 canvases will be $4x

It is given that after she paid for 4 canvases, she had a balance of $2.20 on her orginally $25 gift card.

Hence we can assemble an equation:

$4x + $2.20 = $25

4x + 2.2 = 25 (subtract 2.2 from both sides)

4x = 25 - 2.2

4x =22.8 (divide both sides by 4)

x = 22.8 / 4

x = 5.7

Hence each canvas cost $5.70
