His salary increases by $500 each year. In the 15th year, he would have received 14 raises (since the first year's salary is the base). So, the total raise after 14 years is $14 \times \$500 = \$7000$. Adding this to his first year's salary of $3500 gives $10,500.

Solve the Problem $3500\$ 3500$3500 The First Year He Worked $500\$ 500$500
