Since the baseball bat is marked down $15 from its regular price of $60, the marked-down price of the baseball bat is $60 - $15 = $<<60-15=45>>45.
To find the tax on a marked-down baseball bat, we can set up a proportion:
Tax/Marked-down price = $0.72/$45.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
Tax = $0.72 * $45 / 1
Tax = $<<0.72*45=32.4>>32.4 / 1
Tax = $<<32.4=32.4>>32.4
Therefore, the tax on a marked-down baseball bat is $32.4.
Rounding to the nearest cent, the tax on a marked-down baseball bat is $<<32.4=32.4>>32.4, which is approximately $<<32.4=32.4>>32.4.
Thus, the answer is option A: $32.4.
