Question

A drawer containing several items, some of which are muktzeh and some permitted items. Is it allowed to move it on Shabbat? I have seen that the decision is based on what is more important, and I do not know what determines importance, the monetary value or the need for the item on Shabbat?

Answer

The ruling depends on what is more important among them, the permitted or the prohibited. Importance is measured by monetary value.
