All elements inside a div on a single line

Question

What I want to accomplish is keep all elements inside a div on a single line no matter how many there are:

<div class="col-sm-9 items">
    <div class="item">
        <div class="image pull-left">
            <img class="img-responsive" alt="a" src="images/product.png">
        </div>

        <div class="text pull-left">
            <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor consecteur </p>
            <p>$79/QUANTITY: 1</p>
            <h6 class="blue">Clear <i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i></h6>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="item">
        <div class="image pull-left">
            <img class="img-responsive" alt="a" src="images/product.png">
        </div>

        <div class="text pull-left">
            <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor consecteur </p>
            <p>$79/QUANTITY: 1</p>
            <h6 class="blue">Clear <i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i></h6>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="item">
        <div class="image pull-left">
            <img class="img-responsive" alt="a" src="images/product.png">
        </div>

        <div class="text pull-left">
            <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor consecteur </p>
            <p>$79/QUANTITY: 1</p>
            <h6 class="blue">Clear <i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i></h6>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="item">
        <div class="image pull-left">
            <img class="img-responsive" alt="a" src="images/product.png">
        </div>

        <div class="text pull-left">
            <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor consecteur </p>
            <p>$79/QUANTITY: 1</p>
            <h6 class="blue">Clear <i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i></h6>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="item">
        <div class="image pull-left">
            <img class="img-responsive" alt="a" src="images/product.png">
        </div>

        <div class="text pull-left">
            <p>Lorem Ipsum Dolor consecteur </p>
            <p>$79/QUANTITY: 1</p>
            <h6 class="blue">Clear <i class="fa fa-times-circle-o"></i></h6>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

This is the HTML, where items is the container and the item are the elements I need on one line.

#shop {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    z-index: 5;
}

#shop .items {
    overflow: auto;
    height: 150px;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

#shop .item {
    margin: 20px 0;
    float: left;
    display: inline;
}

#shop .item .image {
    border-radius: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 40%;
}

#shop .item .image img {
    margin: auto;
}

#shop .item .text {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 60%;
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

#shop .button {
    width: 100%;
    padding: 7px;
    margin: 5px 0;
}

#shop .cart {
    padding-left: 55px;
    margin: 5px 0;
    float: left;
}

#shop .cart .sep {
    height: 3px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}

And this the CSS concerning the said elements.

Answer 1

Remove the float for each item and use inline-block :

#shop .item {
  margin: 20px 0;
  /*float: left; Remove this*/
  display: inline-block; /*Add this*/
}
