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 determine how much you earn for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday with a base hourly rate of $24.08 and a 25% additional pay, we follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the additional pay rate for Saturday:**
   - Additional 25% of $24.08:  
   \[
   \text{Additional pay} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]
   - New hourly rate on Saturday:  
   \[
   24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

2. **Multiply the new hourly rate by the number of hours worked (7.5 hours):**
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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