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 for working a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday with an additional 25% pay per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional Saturday pay**: 25% of $24.08

\[
\text{Saturday pay increase} = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
\]

3. **Saturday hourly rate**: 

\[
24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
\]

4. **Total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift**: 

\[
30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
\]

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