Transcribed Image Text:**Problem: Calculating Total Commission**
Myron Sherzer, an appliance salesperson, has the following commission structure:
- 8% commission on the first $2200 of sales.
- 12% commission on sales over $2200.
Given that Myron's total sales amount to $4350, calculate his total commission.
**Solution Approach:**
1. **Calculate Commission on the First $2200:**
- Apply 8% commission rate to the first $2200.
- Commission = $2200 x 0.08
2. **Calculate Commission on Sales Over $2200:**
- Determine the amount over $2200.
- Sales over $2200 = $4350 - $2200
- Apply 12% commission rate to this amount.
- Commission = (Sales over $2200) x 0.12
3. **Calculate Total Commission:**
- Total commission = Commission on first $2200 + Commission on sales over $2200.
**Final Solution:**
Perform the calculations to find out Myron Sherzer's total commission based on his sales performance and the given commission rates.
