To find the cost of each binder, we need to divide the total cost by the number of binders purchased.
Total cost = Cost of binders + Shipping fee
Total cost = x * 8 + $5
Since Angel spends $29 in total, we can set up the equation:
$x * 8 + $5 = $29$
Now, we can solve for x.
$x * 8 = $29 - $5$
$x * 8 = $24$
$x = $24 / 8$
x = $3
Therefore, the cost of each binder is $3. Answer: \boxed{3}.
