Solve the following real world problem AHMADULLAHS basketball team will play 21 games this season. This is a 12 game more than one third the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?
33 games
27 games
11 games
seven games
Let's denote the number of games they played last season as x.
According to the problem, AHMADULLAHS basketball team will play 21 games this season, which is 12 more than one third of the number of games they played last season.
We can translate this information into the following equation:
21 = (1/3)x + 12
To solve this equation, let's isolate x:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x
9 = (1/3)x
To solve for x, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * 9 = 3 * (1/3)x
27 = x
Therefore, they played 27 games last season.
So, the correct answer is 27 games.
