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

1 answer

Let x be the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season.

According to the problem, this season they will play 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season:

21 = x/3 + 12

Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get:

9 = x/3

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get:

x = 27

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