Let's assume the cost of one scarf is x dollars.
According to the given information, the cost of two hats is $1.00 more than the cost of one scarf, so the cost of two hats is x + $1.00.
Now, we know that the cost of four scarves is 4x dollars, and the cost of six hats is 6(x + $1.00).
We are given that the total cost of four scarves and six hats is $52.00, so we can set up the equation:
4x + 6(x + $1.00) = $52.00
Simplifying the equation, we get:
4x + 6x + $6.00 = $52.00
10x + $6.00 = $52.00
Subtracting $6.00 from both sides of the equation, we have:
10x = $46.00
Dividing both sides of the equation by 10, we get:
x = $4.60
Therefore, the cost of one scarf is $4.60.
