Aaron currently earns $7.25 per hour and works 3 1/2 hours every Saturday, so he earns 7.25 * 3.5 = $<<7.25*3.5=25.375>>25.375 every Saturday.

His boss gives him a $1.00 raise, so his new hourly rate is 7.25 + 1 = $<<7.25+1=8.25>>8.25.
If he continues to work 3 1/2 hours every Saturday, he will now earn 8.25 * 3.5 = $<<8.25*3.5=28.875>>28.875 every Saturday.
Aaron is paid every four weeks, so his paycheck for 4 weeks is 28.875 * 4 = $<<28.875*4=115.50>>115.50. Answer: \boxed{\text{(D)}\ \$115.50}.
