Your base hourly rate of pay is $24.08. On Saturdays, you are paid an additional 25% per hour. How much do you earn on Saturday if you work a 7.5 hour shift?

To calculate your earnings for a Saturday shift where you are paid an additional 25% per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate:** $24.08
2. **Additional pay on Saturdays:** 25% of $24.08  
   \[
   \text{Additional pay} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]
3. **Total hourly rate on Saturdays:** 
   \[
   24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]
4. **Total pay for a 7.5 hour shift:**
   \[
   30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

So, your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday would be **$225.75**.
