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 during a 7.5-hour shift, we need to include the 25% additional pay per hour for working on Saturday.

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional 25%** on Saturdays = $ 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02 $

3. **Total hourly rate on Saturday** = $ 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 $

4. **Total earnings for 7.5 hours on Saturday** = $ 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75 $

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