To calculate how much you earn on a Saturday for a 7.5-hour shift with an additional 25% pay per hour, follow these steps:

1. Base hourly rate: $24.08

2. Saturday rate: Since you are paid 25% more on Saturdays, you multiply the base rate by 1.25: $\text{Saturday rate} = 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10 \, \text{per hour}$

3. Total earnings for 7.5 hours: Multiply the Saturday rate by the hours worked: $\text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75$

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