Answer: $125,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the starting salary be x.

To determine the starting salary, we have to add all the expenses paid together. This will be:

$1,573.83 + $2,175.56 + $1,264.95 + $1,843.25 + $4,500.00 + (20% × x) = $36,357.59

$11357.59 + 0.2x = $36,357.59

0.2x = $36,357.59 - $11357.59

0.2x = $25000

x = $25000 / 0.2

x = $125,000

The starting salary is $125,000.
