Answer 2

The sale price of a hardcover book for which the original retail price was $29.00 is $15.66

Explanation:

Original Price = $29

We are given that A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books by 46%.

So, Sale price =
`29-(46)/(100) * 29`

=
`15.66`

Hence the sale price of a hardcover book for which the original retail price was $29.00 is $15.66
