Answer: 5

Explanation:

Let x = the number of games Rocco played.

Rent of shoes = $7

Charge per game = $6

Total Charge = 6x+7

As per given,

$6x+7 \leq40\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x\leq 40-7\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x\leq33\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq(33)/(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq5.5$

Hence, the greatest number of games Rocco could have played = 5
