Recall that:
[tex]\text{salesprice}=\text{originalprice+taxes.}[/tex]Therefore Daisy pays:
[tex]24.74-21=3.74\text{ dollars}[/tex]in taxes for the videogame.
Now, recall that to determine the percentage that a represents from b we use the following expression:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}\cdot100.[/tex]Therefore, the sales tax applied to the videogame is:
[tex]\frac{3.74\text{dollars}}{21\text{dollars}}\cdot100\approx17.81[/tex]percent.
Answer: The tax applied to the videogame is 17.81%, in this case, the sales tax is 3.74 dollars.
