**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 Saturday earnings, follow these steps:

1. **Find the additional 25% pay**:
   \[
   25\% \text{ of } 24.08 = 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02
   \]

2. **Add the extra 25% to the base hourly rate**:
   \[
   24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 \text{ per hour}
   \]

3. **Multiply the new hourly rate by the number of hours worked**:
   \[
   30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75
   \]

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