Anabella Walker · Answer 1

The answer is 4.) $3 each

She bought 8 items at $30 so those cost $3.75 each

8*$3.75=$30

then add $6 + 30 = $36

$36/10 = $3.60 for average cost of each item

so the other 2 items cost $3 each

String Bean · Answer 2

4) $3

Total price of the 10 items = $3.6x10=$36

The cost of the other two items=$36-$30=$6

The cost of each of the two = $6/2 (because they are the same price)

=$3
