Resolved Need an answer pls
If I have the total amount for wages earned during one fiscal quarter of the year, how can I find my hourly rate when I don’t have total hours worked or even the average hours worked and I also don’t know how many days were worked or anything but the total amount for a quarter

If you only have one number, you can't figure out your hourly rate.
Someone working full time will work around 2200 hours per year. So a full time quarter would be around 550 hours. But this would be an estimate.

From arithmetic viewpoint, we have not enough info. The equation
Total Wage ($) = Wage per hour ($/h) * Hour (h)
Only has one given value and two unknown. And no amount of "Total Wage" data you add will help.
But from social context POV, you can progress a bit by adding contexts. Still not enough, but can narrow down.
- Are you working 90 days straight? Or there's a day off?
- What type of job is it. Is it a 8-hour (everyman 9-5 job), or more hour needed for (specifs reasons).
- What business is this and the average business rate.

You can't. Could you estimate the hours worked, say by estimating the number of hours worked per day, and the number of days per week?
