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 your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday, given that your base hourly rate is $24.08 and you're paid an additional 25% per hour on Saturdays, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the additional pay per hour**:  
   \[
   \text{Additional pay per hour} = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]

2. **Calculate the total hourly rate on Saturday**:  
   \[
   \text{Total hourly rate on Saturday} = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10
   \]

3. **Calculate the total pay for the 7.5-hour shift**:  
   \[
   \text{Total pay} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

So, your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday would be **$225.75**.
