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

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
