To calculate how much you earn on a Saturday with a 7.5-hour shift, given that your base hourly rate is $24.08 and you receive an additional 25% per hour on Saturdays, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional pay on Saturday**: 25% of $24.08
   \[
   0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
   \]
3. **Saturday hourly rate**: $24.08 + $6.02 = $30.10
4. **Total pay for a 7.5-hour shift**:
   \[
   30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
