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.
