Solution

Step 1: Calculate the total cost for both Daisy and Eva to enter the park. Since it costs 7.50foreachperson,thetotalcostwouldbe27.50 for each person, the total cost would be 2 * 7.50 = $15.

Step 2: Subtract the cost of entering the park from the total amount of money they have. This will give you the amount of money they have left to spend on renting jet skis. So, 115115 - 15 = $100.

Step 3: Determine the cost of renting two jet skis for one hour. Since it costs 25perhourtorentonejetski,thecosttorenttwowouldbe225 per hour to rent one jet ski, the cost to rent two would be 2 * 25 = $50.

Step 4: Finally, divide the remaining amount of money by the cost of renting two jet skis for one hour. This will give you the maximum amount of time they can rent the jet skis. So, 100/100 / 50 = 2 hours.

Therefore, Daisy and Eva can rent two jet skis for a maximum of 2 hours.
