Well it already says she is planning on spending 20 dollars to buy a canvas so

$$54-20=34$$

Total cost of 1 tube of paint is 8.50 and u have 34 dollars left.

$$34\div8.50=4$$

So with that being said she can buy 4 tubes of paint.

(There might also be information missing from what just provided,but this is how far I can go without that non-provided info)
