    Number of cookie boxes bought by James = 5

    Number of cakes bought by James = 2

    Cost of each cakes = $4

    Total bill paid by James = $28.50

    Let us assume the cost of the each boxes of cookies = x

    Then

    5x + (2 * 4) = 28.50

    5x + 8 = 28.50

    5x = 28.50 - 8

    5x = 20.50

    x = 20.50/5

    = 4.10

    So we can see from the above deduction that the cost of each boxes of cookies bought by James is $4.10
