To determine how much money Myron makes in one hour, we can use the information provided about his earnings for the hours worked.

From the data:
- When he worked 3 hours, he earned $36.

To find out his hourly wage, we can divide the total earnings by the number of hours worked:

\[
\text{Hourly wage} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Hours worked}} = \frac{36}{3} = 12
\]

So, Myron makes **$12** per hour.

Next, to find out how many hours he needs to work to make $264, we can use his hourly wage:

\[
\text{Hours needed} = \frac{\text{Total earnings desired}}{\text{Hourly wage}} = \frac{264}{12} = 22
\]

Thus, Myron needs to work **22 hours** to make $264.
