To solve this, you are paid an additional 25% on top of your base rate for Saturdays. Here's how we calculate the total amount you earn for a 7.5-hour shift:

### Steps:
1. **Base hourly rate** = $24.08
2. **Saturday additional pay** = 25% of $24.08

   \[
   \text{Saturday pay increase} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]

3. **Total hourly rate on Saturday** = Base rate + Additional pay

   \[
   \text{Total rate on Saturday} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

4. **Total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift**:

   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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