The correct statement is   "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."

Mark down refers to a reduction in price of an item or good. The reduction is generally done as a percentage of price of the item. The purpose behind mark down is to increase sales volume.

<h3>Calculation of reduction in price:</h3>

Given:

Markdown in price of baseball bats is 42%

Cost of baseball bats after markdown is $21.46

Markdown in price of hockey sticks is 29%

Cost of hockey sticks after markdown is $39.05

For calculating the amount of markdown, we need to find the original cost of baseball bats and hockey sticks.

Calculation of cost of baseball bats before markdown:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{100-42\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{58\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\$37\end

Hence the markdown in price of baseball bats is \$37-\$21.46=\$15.54

Similarly, for hockey sticks:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{100-29\%}\\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{71\%}\\\\&=\$55\end

Markdown in the cost of hockey sticks is \$55-\$39.05=\$15.95.

Difference in markdown is:

\$15.95-\$15.54=\$0.41

Therefore it can be concluded that markdown in cost of hockey sticks is more as compared to baseball bats by $0.41

Hence the correct statement is "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."
