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 Saturday for a 7.5-hour shift with an additional 25% pay increase, we can follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Saturday pay increase**: 25% more means the total pay rate on Saturdays is:
   \[
   24.08 + (24.08 \times 0.25) = 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10
   \]
   So, your hourly pay on Saturdays is $30.10.

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

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