**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 how much you earn for working a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday, follow these steps:

1. **Find the additional pay rate for Saturday:**
   Since you are paid an additional 25% on Saturdays, your pay rate on Saturday is:
   \[
   24.08 \times (1 + 0.25) = 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10 \, \text{per hour}.
   \]

2. **Calculate the total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift:**
   Multiply your Saturday pay rate by the number of hours worked:
   \[
   30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75.
   \]

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