To calculate your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday with an additional 25% pay rate, we follow these steps:

1. Base hourly rate: $24.08

2. Saturday pay rate: 25% more than your base rate.

   • Additional pay per hour: $0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02$
   • Saturday hourly rate: $24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10$

3. Total earnings for 7.5 hours: $30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75$

So, your total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday would be $225.75.
