Incremental Commission or Graduated Commission
Myrna is paid 3.5% commission on the first ₱12,000; 3.5% on the next ₱15,000; and 6.5% on all sales 
over ₱25,000. Last month, her total sales were ₱64,000. Find her total commission.

To find Myrna's total commission using the incremental or graduated commission method, we will break down her total sales into three parts as defined by the problem:

1. **3.5% commission on the first ₱12,000**
2. **3.5% commission on the next ₱15,000** 
3. **6.5% commission on all sales over ₱25,000** 

Her total sales last month were ₱64,000.

### Step 1: Calculate the commission for the first ₱12,000
\[
\text{Commission} = 12,000 \times 0.035 = ₱420
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the commission for the next ₱15,000
\[
\text{Commission} = 15,000 \times 0.035 = ₱525
\]

### Step 3: Calculate the commission for the sales over ₱25,000
Her total sales are ₱64,000, so the amount over ₱25,000 is:
\[
64,000 - 25,000 = ₱39,000
\]
Now, calculate the commission for the ₱39,000:
\[
\text{Commission} = 39,000 \times 0.065 = ₱2,535
\]

### Step 4: Add all commissions together
\[
\text{Total Commission} = 420 + 525 + 2,535 = ₱3,480
\]

### Conclusion:
Myrna's total commission for the month is **₱3,480**.
