Answer: I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but here are the following possible answers:

1.) If the soap and towel price TOGETHER is 1.10, then the price of the towel is 10 cents/ $0.10

2.) If the price of the towel is $1.10, then the price of the soap is $2.10

Step-by-step explanation: Here are the explanations coresponding to the answers:

1.) By subtracting the 1.00 from the 1.10, you find that you get .10. We do this since if the soap is 1.00 more than the towel, we need to get it away from the total price, and we do that by subtracting it.

2.) If the soap is 1.00 more than the towel, and the 1.10 is the price of the towel alone, then we add 1.00 to the towel price (1.10), getting 2.10.

Answer: $0.10

Explanation:

First we take the total ($1.10)

Then we take the total cost of the of the soap ($1.00)

Now subtract the two from each other

This will give us the cost of the towel

$1.10-$1.00

$0.10
