27-12=15 students at most
27-(12+5)=10 students at least

Asssuming that none of the students who wore glasses were also in afterschool programs, the answer for the least remaining is 27 - 5 - 12 = 10 remaining students.
Assuming that all the students with glasses were also in the afterschool programs, the answer for the most remaining students is 27 - 12 = 15.
Both of these answers are assuming no one was absent as mentioned.

at a minimum 10 students stayed because none of the sports kids wore glasses, at most 15 students stayed because all 5 glasses kids played sports

Total = 27
Glasses = 5/27
sports = 12/27
Least = total - glasses - sports ..............assuming there are no students who both wear glasses and participate in sports
Most = total - (sports-glasses) ..........assuming ALL students that participate in sports wear glasses
