To find Jill's annual salary, we need to calculate her total earnings per week and then multiply that by the number of weeks she works in a year.

1.  **Calculate weekly earnings from teaching:**
    Jill teaches 35 hours a week at a rate of $20 per hour.
    $$35 \text{ hours/week} \times \$20/\text{hour} = \$700/\text{week}$$

2.  **Calculate weekly earnings from cheerleading:**
    Jill coaches 15 hours a week at a rate of $30 per hour.
    $$15 \text{ hours/week} \times \$30/\text{hour} = \$450/\text{week}$$

3.  **Calculate total weekly earnings:**
    Add the earnings from both jobs together.
    $$\$700 + \$450 = \$1,150/\text{week}$$

4.  **Calculate annual salary:**
    Multiply the total weekly earnings by the number of weeks worked in a year (50 weeks).
    $$\$1,150/\text{week} \times 50 \text{ weeks/year} = \$57,500/\text{year}$$

\boxed{57500}
