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.
