Towels absorb water because the threading on the towel is very porous. Water "likes" to "hug" porous surfaces. But when the porous surface is already occupied with water, no more can be absorbed. Your problem with the non absorbing towel can also come from a dirty towel with an ingredient absorbed into the fibers that repels water, like wax or oil. Try cleaning the towel with alcohol or any substance that can break down lipids.

What are the variables in the hypothesis More expensive paper towels absorb more water?

Variables are things that can be varied to affect the outcome of the experiment, or things that vary with the outcome of the experiment. In this hypothesis, the things that could vary are: 1. The price of the paper towels. 2. The water absorbed by the paper towels. Expressed mathematically: y = f(x) Where y = water absorbed and x = price of paper towels. Thus, the amount of water absorbed by a paper towel is a function of the price of the paper towel. Or, at least, that's the hypothesis.
