Question

Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah’s basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 games more than 1/3
the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of games last season.
One-third of that is x/3, and 21 is 12 more than that:

x/3 + 12 = 21
x/3 = 9
x = 27

They played 27 games last season.
