Julie sold 3 boxes of cupcakes for a total of $15 and 4 equally-priced boxes of danish. She made a total of $31.

Total amount of sold cupcakes = 15

Let x be the amount of each box of Danish

4 boxes of Danish sold.

Total amount of Danish sold = 4x

Total amount of sold cupcakes + Total amount of sold Danish = $31

15 + 4x = 31

Subtract 15 on both sides

15 + 4x -15 = 31 - 15

4x = 16

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 4

$4 is the price of each box of Danish.
