Your base hourly rate is $24.08. On Saturdays you are paid an additional 25 percent per hour. How much do you earn on Saturday if you work 7.5hrs? 

To calculate your earnings on a Saturday, where you receive an additional 25% on your base hourly rate, follow these steps:

1. **Determine the additional pay per hour:**

   Additional pay per hour = 25% of $24.08  
   \[
   \text{Additional pay per hour} = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
   \]

2. **Calculate the total hourly rate on Saturday:**

   Total hourly rate on Saturday = Base hourly rate + Additional pay  
   \[
   \text{Total hourly rate on Saturday} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

3. **Calculate the total earnings for 7.5 hours:**

   Total earnings on Saturday = Total hourly rate on Saturday × Hours worked  
   \[
   \text{Total earnings on Saturday} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

So, you earn **$225.75** on Saturday if you work 7.5 hours.
