choose with correct answer and check it over to make sure it is correct

Answer 1

Let the number of games they played last season be x.
According to the problem, Ahmadullah’s team will play 12 more than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season, so we can write the equation:

x/3 + 12 = 21

Simplifying the equation:
x/3 = 21 - 12
x/3 = 9

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 9 * 3

x = 27

Therefore, the correct answer is: A) 27 games.
