In this question, the number of seat of A equal the number total seats on B and C. The equation would be:

A=B=C

Total seat = A+B+C = A+A+A=3A

The total revenue for the stadium is $1,193,400. Then the total number of the seat would be:

revenue = total seats*price per seat

$1,193,400 = A * $30 + B*24 + C*18

$1,193,400 = A * $30 + A*24 + A*18

$1,193,400 = A * $72

A = $1,193,400 / 72

A = 16575

Each section hold 16575 seats
