**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 shift on a Saturday with an additional 25% pay, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate:** $24.08
2. **Additional pay on Saturday:** 25% of $24.08  
   \[
   25\% \text{ of } 24.08 = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02
   \]
   Therefore, the new hourly rate on Saturday is:
   \[
   24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

3. **Total earnings for 7.5 hours:**
   \[
   7.5 \times 30.10 = 225.75
   \]

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