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 for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday, considering the additional 25% pay, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Saturday pay rate**: $ 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10 $ (This includes the 25% increase)
3. **Total earnings for 7.5 hours**: $ 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75 $

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