First, we need to calculate the amount of money John has left after he buys the sunglasses.
John starts with $200 and spends $45 on sunglasses:
\[
200 - 45 = 155
\]
Now, he has $155 remaining to spend on candies. Each candy costs $6, so we can find the maximum number of candies he can buy by dividing his remaining money by the price of one candy:
\[
\frac{155}{6} \approx 25.83
\]
Since John can only buy a whole number of candies, we round down to the nearest whole number:
\[
25
\]
Thus, the maximum number of candies John can buy is **25**.
