if i earn $24.08 a hour but on saturday i earn 25% more how much will i get if i work a 7.5 hour shift

To find out how much you'll earn on Saturday for a 7.5-hour shift, we'll calculate your hourly rate with the 25% increase, then multiply that rate by 7.5 hours.

### Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. **Regular hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Saturday rate**: You earn 25% more on Saturday, so we increase your rate by 25%.

    - 25% of $24.08 = $ 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02 $
    - New Saturday rate = $ 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 $

3. **Earnings for a 7.5-hour shift**:
    - $ 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75 $

### Final answer:
You will earn **$225.75** for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
