   there are 8 parts altogether 3 of them are adults the rest of them are 5 and they are children 32 more children means 2 parts which equal 16 and 16.

   8-3=5 parts. 16*3=48 adults.

   16*5=80 Children.
   5-3=2 parts =32 so 1 part is 16.
   48+80=128 people in total.

   A=adults C=children
   A+32=C
   3/8+32=5/8
   5/8-3/8=32
   32=2/8
   1/8=16
   8/8 (1)=16*8
   16*8=128

   A(adults)+32=C(children)
   32=2/8xP(people in total)
   1/8xP=32/2=16
   16×8=P=128
   P=128

   3/8 of people=adults
   5/8 of people=children
   Adults+32=children
   3/8 of people+32=5/8 of people
   32=5/8 of people-3/8 of people
   32=2/8 of people
   16=1/8 of people
   People= 16*8=128

   Check:
   Adults=3/8 of 128
   3/8*128/1=384/8
   384/8=48
   Adults=48

   Children=5/8 of 128
   5/8*128/1=640/8
   640/8=80
   Children=80

   48+80=128
