To find the cost of each cookie, we can start by setting up an equation based on the information provided.
1. Let the cost of each cookie be \( x \).
2. Ada buys one cake for $20.
3. She buys four cookies, so the total cost for the cookies is \( 4x \).
4. The total amount spent on the cake and cookies is $28.
We can set up the following equation:
\[
20 + 4x = 28
\]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
1. Subtract 20 from both sides:
\[
4x = 28 - 20
\]
\[
4x = 8
\]
2. Divide both sides by 4:
\[
x = \frac{8}{4}
\]
\[
x = 2
\]
Thus, each cookie costs **$2**.
