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 for a 7.5-hour shift with a 25% additional pay, follow these steps:

1. **Base hourly rate**: $24.08
2. **Additional pay on Saturday**: 25% of $24.08  
   $ 24.08 \times 0.25 = 6.02 $  
   The total hourly rate on Saturday is:  
   $ 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10 $
3. **Saturday earnings for 7.5 hours**:  
   $ 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75 $

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