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? (1 point)

Question

O33 games

7 games

11 games

O 27 games

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of games played last season as G.

According to the problem, 21 games this season is equal to 12 games more than 1/3 the number of games played last season. This can be expressed as:

21 = (1/3) * G + 12

To find the number of games they played last season, we need to solve for G:

(1/3) * G = 21 - 12
(1/3) * G = 9

Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate G:

G = 9 * 3
G = 27

Thus, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.

The correct answer is:

O 27 games
