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 on a Saturday with the additional 25% per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate:** $24.08
2. **Saturday additional pay:** 25% of $24.08 = $ 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02 $
3. **Saturday hourly rate:** $ 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 $
4. **Total earnings for 7.5 hours:** $ 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75 $

### Therefore, you would earn **$225.75** for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
