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 determine your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday, let's break it down step by step:

1. **Base hourly rate** = $24.08
2. **Saturday additional pay** = 25% more per hour.

   The extra 25% is calculated as:
   \[
   \text{Extra pay per hour} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]

3. **Total Saturday hourly rate**:
   \[
   \text{Total Saturday hourly rate} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

4. **Earnings for 7.5 hours**:
   \[
   \text{Earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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