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 how much you earn on a Saturday with a 7.5-hour shift and a 25% additional pay, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional Saturday pay**: 25% of the base rate

First, calculate the additional 25% pay:

\[
\text{Additional pay} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
\]

So, the total hourly pay on Saturday is:

\[
\text{Total Saturday hourly rate} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
\]

Now, calculate the total earnings for the 7.5-hour shift:

\[
\text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
\]

Thus, you earn **$225.75** for the 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
