I had a super-ugly equation that didn’t work, but it got me close. (24,000/12,000/12,000 or so)
Then I adjusted the numbers to make the money work.

I’m sorry I can’t help more.

24,000(25) + 14,200(20) + 9,800(15)
= 600,000 + 284,000 + 147,000 = 1,031,000

Section A = 24,000 seats
Section B = 14,200 seats
Section C = 9,800 seats

14,200 + 9,800 = 24,000 seats
