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.
