Answer:  ruler cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Let cost of ruler  be represented as r

and cost of pencil be represented as p

we were given that

4 rulers and a pencil and these cost the same as 2 rulers and 4 pencils which is expressed as

4r + p = 2r+ 4p

and cost of pencil= $8

therefore

sTEP 2--- Solving

4r+ 8 = 2r+ 4 x8

4r+ 8 = 2r+ 32

4r - 2r= 32-8

2r= 24

r= 24/2 = r= $12
