1. **State the problem:**
A salesperson earns a weekly salary of 1250 plus a 6% commission on all sales and a 2% bonus on sales above 5000. We need to find her total earnings if her sales were 9420.
2. **Formulas and rules:**
- Commission = 6% of total sales = $0.06 \times \text{sales}$
- Bonus = 2% of sales above 5000 = $0.02 \times (\text{sales} - 5000)$ if sales > 5000
- Total earnings = salary + commission + bonus
3. **Calculate commission:**
$$\text{Commission} = 0.06 \times 9420 = 565.2$$
4. **Calculate bonus:**
Since 9420 > 5000,
$$\text{Bonus} = 0.02 \times (9420 - 5000) = 0.02 \times 4420 = 88.4$$
5. **Calculate total earnings:**
$$\text{Total earnings} = 1250 + 565.2 + 88.4 = 1903.6$$
6. **Answer:**
The salesperson would earn **1903.6** for the week if her total sales were 9420.
