Set up a proportion

12/14 = x/21

They have already won 12 out of 14 games.

What you are asking is how many will the win (call that number x) if they play 21 games.

Solution

12/14 = x/21 Cross multiply

14* x = 12*21 Combine the right

14x = 252 Divide both sides by 14

14x/14 = 252/14 Do the division

x = 18

They should win 18 games.
