    Yes the sales tax is higher than 3%, it is actually 3.65%.

    Explanation:

    If the price of the guitar that Max bought was $602 (without taxes) and he ended up paying $624 with taxes, then the taxes were $22 ( = $624 - $602). The $22 represent 3.65% [ = ($22 / $602) x 100] of the guitar's price, and yes it is less than $30.
