To find the quota for State C, add up the populations for all of the states.
Divide 2725 by the total population to get the decimal fraction allotted to State C.
Multiply the decimal fraction by 189.
A small country consists of seven states; there are 189 seats in the legislature that need to be apportioned among the seven states; and the population of each state is shown,
State A: 1283
State B: 2374
State C: 2725
State D: 2155
State E: 1592
State F: 2511
State G: 2017
Find the standard quota asked for State C.
I do not understand how to solve this problem. Please explain the steps.
Thank you!
