To calculate how much you earn on Saturday during a 7.5-hour shift, we'll first account for the additional 25% pay you receive on Saturdays.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Base hourly rate: $24.08
2. Additional 25% pay on Saturdays: $25\% \text{ of } 24.08 = \frac{25}{100} \times 24.08 = 0.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02$
3. Total hourly rate on Saturday: $24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 \text{ per hour}$
4. Earnings for 7.5-hour shift: $30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75$

Conclusion:

You would earn $225.75 for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
