Answer 1

The woman bought 2 items at $12 each.

Explanation:

Given that a woman bought a number of items for $ 24, and she realized that if she had bought 4 more items for the same money, she would have paid $ 8 less per item, to determine how many Items did she buy the following calculation must be done:

X = 24

X + 4 = 24

24/2 = 12

24/6 = 4

12 - 4 = 8

Therefore, the woman bought 2 items.
