Answer:

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define:

c: children attendance

s: students attendance

a: adult attendance

The equation that describes the total ticket sales is:

5c+7s+12a=2808

We also know that the children attendance doubles the adult attendance:

c=2a

The third equation is the seating capacity, which we assume is full:

c+s+a=387

We start by replacing variables in two of the equations:

c=2a\\\\s=387-c-a=387-2a-a=387-3a

Then, we solve the remaining equation for a:

5c+7s+12a=2808\\\\5(2a)+7(387-3a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+(2709-21a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+12a-21a=2808-2709\\\\a=99

Then, we solve for the other two equations:

c=2a=2*99=198\\\\s=387-3a=387-3*99=387-297=90

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.
