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 for a 7.5-hour shift with an additional 25% pay per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Saturday hourly rate**: Base rate + 25% of base rate
   \[
   24.08 + (0.25 \times 24.08) = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 \, \text{per hour}
   \]
3. **Total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift**: 
   \[
   30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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