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 how much you earn on a Saturday shift of 7.5 hours with a base hourly rate of $24.08 and a 25% bonus per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the Saturday hourly rate:**
   \[
   \text{Saturday hourly rate} = 24.08 + (0.25 \times 24.08)
   = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

2. **Calculate the total earnings for 7.5 hours:**
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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