So this is a simple equation. Since my family has budgeted $350, and we rent a jetski which costs $45.00 per hour, we need to set up an equation.

So. The true answer is 7.78 hours, but it depends on how it is rented. If it is to the hour in which you can only afford, You can rent it for 7 hours. If it is exact minute and second, you can rent it for 7.78 hours.
