To solve this problem:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08.
2. **Saturday bonus**: You are paid an additional 25%, which means the total hourly rate is 125% of the base rate.
3. **Shift length**: 7.5 hours.

### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Calculate the new hourly rate**: 
   \[
   \text{New hourly rate} = 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10
   \]

2. **Calculate total earnings for 7.5 hours**:
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

### Final Answer: 
You would earn **225.75** on a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
