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 Saturday shift with an additional 25% per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Find the Saturday hourly rate**:
   \[
   \text{Saturday hourly rate} = \text{base rate} + (25\% \times \text{base rate})
   \]
   \[
   \text{Saturday hourly rate} = 24.08 + (0.25 \times 24.08) = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

2. **Calculate total earnings**:
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = \text{Saturday hourly rate} \times \text{hours worked}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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