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)
O33 games
7 games
11 games
O 27 games
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
