The starting salary is $35,000.

Salary is increased by 6% at the end of every year.

Nos of years worked = 16 years

Total salary earned in 16 years is given by An * (( 1+i )^n - 1 ) / i

Where, An = Present Salary = $35000

i = Increase in salary per year = 6% = 0.06

n = number of years = 16

= 35000 * ( 1.06 ^16 - 1 ) / .06

= 35000 * ( 2.54035 - 1 ) / .06

= 35000 * 1.54035 / .06

= 898538

Total earnings in 16 years is $ 898538
