Answer 1

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Let X be the number of games they played last season.
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 12 games more than 13 times the number of games they played last season.
So, 13X + 12 = 21.

Let's solve for X:
13X + 12 = 21
Subtract 12 from both sides:
13X = 9
Divide both sides by 13:
X = 9/13

Since the number of games played must be a whole number, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 11 games last season.

So the answer is:
11 games.

Answer 3

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Joseph has $34.25.
The hat costs $12.50.
The tickets cost $7.25 each.

First, let's subtract the cost of the hat from Joseph's total amount:
$34.25 - $12.50 = $21.75

Now, let's divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket to determine how many tickets Joseph can buy:
$21.75 / $7.25 = 3

Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.

So the answer is:
3 tickets.
