Answer 1

A bit of modification of DRapp's code...

select
case when price >= 0 and price < 10    then "  0 - 10"
           when price > 10 and price <= 50   then " 10+ - 50"
           when price > 50 and price <= 100  then " 50+ - 100"
           else "over 100"
end As PriceRange,
count(item_name) as ItemTotal
from YourTable
group by 
case when price >= 0 and price < 10    then "  0 - 10"
           when price > 10 and price <= 50   then " 10+ - 50"
           when price > 50 and price <= 100  then " 50+ - 100"
           else "over 100"
end;
