Let x be the price of each box of sugar cookies.
The girl scout sold 4 boxes to strangers, so she made 4x from them.
She sold 124 boxes to relatives, so she made 124x from them.
The total sales from all the boxes is given as $320.
Therefore, the equation is:
4x + 124x = 320
128x = 320
x = 320/128
x = $2.50
Therefore, the price of each box of sugar cookies is $2.50.
