If the stack is 21ins and each board is 1 3/2 ins thick that means you 21/(1 3/2) so you end up getting 8.4. Because you can't have a part of a board you round the number down to 8 boards.

Law Incorporation [45]

The first thing you should do in this case is calculate the tax percentage.
We then have to apply the following rule of three:
$ 63 ----> 100%
6 $ ------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (6/63) * (100)
x = 9.523809524%
Therefore the taxes of the second item will be
Tax = (9.523809524 / 100) * 210
Tax = 20 $
Answer:
The sales tax on the second item is:
Tax = 20 $
