**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 Saturday during a 7.5-hour shift with a base hourly rate of $24.08 and a 25% pay increase:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Saturday additional rate**: 25% of $24.08 = $ 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02 $

This gives a total hourly rate on Saturday of:

\[
24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 \, \text{per hour}
\]

Now, for a 7.5-hour shift:

\[
30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
\]

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