    Answer: A. 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let t represent the number of tennis balls in the pack Jason that bought.

    Each tennis ball cost $2.25. This means that the cost of a pack containing x tennis balls would be 2.25 * t = 2.25t

    Ason paid less than $14 for a pack of tennis balls. Therefore, the inequality to find the maximum number of tennis balls in the pack that Ason bought is expressed as

    2.25t < 14

    t < 14/2.25

    t < 6.22

    Therefore, the maximum number of tennis balls in the pack that Ason bought is 6
