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 earnings on Saturday, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08.
2. **Saturday additional pay**: 25% extra on top of the base rate.

First, calculate the additional pay per hour:
\[
\text{Additional pay per hour} = 25\% \times 24.08 = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
\]

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

Next, calculate the 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.
