In the starting, you had $9.25,
After renting,
#$9.25-$2.50=$6.75#
Each game costs $2.25
#therefore# After one game,
$2.25 gone out of $6.75
After two games,
$4.50 gone
After three games,
$6.75 gone
Total is $6.75, after three games it will cost you $6.75
#therefore# you can play three games

3 games.

Explanation:

The information can be written as a function #t=2.50+2.25g#

If #t=9.25# then #9.25=2.50+2.25g#.

By rearranging, you get #g=(9.25-2.50)/2.25=6.75/2.25=3#

3 games can be played.
