Questions & Answers about Hvaða taska er notuð? Þessi stóra hefur verðmiða.

Where is the word for 'one' in Þessi stóra (This big one)?
Icelandic doesn't use a filler word like 'one' in these situations. You just drop the noun entirely! Because Þessi stóra (this big) is in the feminine form, we know it still refers to the feminine noun taska (bag).
Why do we use the weak adjective form stóra here instead of stór?
Adjectives take their weak form when they come directly after a demonstrative word like þessi (this). The weak feminine singular form of stór is stóra.
Why does the first sentence use notuð instead of the base form notað?
Here, the past participle of nota (to use) functions like an adjective describing taska (bag). Because taska is a feminine noun, the participle must match it, becoming the feminine singular notuð.
Why does verðmiði (price tag) change to verðmiða in the second sentence?
The verb hafa (to have) requires its object to be in the accusative case. verðmiði is a masculine noun, and its accusative form is verðmiða.
