To solve the problem:

1. The base hourly rate is **$24.08**.
2. You get an additional **25%** on Saturdays. This means the total hourly rate on Saturdays is:
   \[
   \text{Total rate} = 24.08 + (0.25 \times 24.08)
   \]
   \[
   \text{Total rate} = 24.08 \times 1.25 = 30.10
   \]

3. You work **7.5 hours** on Saturday, so your total earnings for the shift would be:
   \[
   \text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5
   \]

Now I'll calculate this:

\[
30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
\]

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

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. How would your earnings change if the Saturday shift was 8 hours instead of 7.5?
2. If you only received a 20% Saturday pay increase, what would your earnings be?
3. What is your total weekly income if you worked a 40-hour week at the base rate?
4. How much additional income do you earn just from the Saturday bonus?
5. How would your earnings change if your base rate increased to $25?

**Tip:** When calculating percentage increases, multiplying by $ 1 + \text{percentage increase} $ (in decimal form) gives the new amount in one step.

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?

Learn how to calculate your earnings for a 7.5-hour Saturday shift with a base hourly rate of $24.08 and a 25% additional pay rate. This solution involves percentage increases and basic multiplication. Suitable for Grades 6-8.
