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 total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday, given that your base hourly rate is $24.08 and you receive an additional 25% pay on Saturdays, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional pay for Saturday**: 25% of the base rate

First, calculate the additional pay for Saturday:
\[
\text{Additional pay per hour} = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
\]

Now, calculate the total hourly rate for Saturday:
\[
\text{Total hourly rate} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
\]

Next, 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**.
