Let x be the number of tennis balls in the pro shop.
According to the ratio, the number of golf balls is 5 times the number of tennis balls. So, we can write the equation:
5x = 385
Solving for x:
x = 385 / 5
x = 77
Therefore, there are 77 tennis balls in the pro shop.

My apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly:
Given that the ratio of golf balls to tennis balls is 5 : 4, and there are 385 golf balls.
Let the number of tennis balls be x.
According to the ratio, the number of golf balls is 5 times the number of tennis balls. So, we can write it as:
5/4 = 385/x
Cross multiply:
5x = 1540
x = 1540 / 5
x = 308
Therefore, there are 308 tennis balls in the pro shop.
