Basic Pay = Net Pay + (0.025 * Basic Pay) + (0.02 * Basic Pay) + (0.02 * (Basic Pay - 0.025 * Basic Pay)) + (0.25 * (Basic Pay - 0.025 * Basic Pay - 10036)
Basic Pay = Net Pay + (0.025 * Basic Pay) + (0.02 * Basic Pay) + (0.02 * Basic Pay - 0.0005 * Basic Pay) + (0.25 * Basic Pay - 0.00625 * Basic Pay - 2509)
Basic Pay = Net Pay + (0.0455 * Basic Pay) + (0.2675 * Basic Pay - 2509)
Basic Pay = Net Pay + (0.313 * Basic Pay - 2509)
0.687 * Basic Pay = Net Pay + 2509
Basic Pay = (Net Pay + 2509) / 0.687
Now, for the given net pay of $95,000:
Basic Pay = (95000 + 2509) / 0.687 = $140,477.16
