Need help in only part C
A small country has 24 in the congress, divided among the three states according to their respective populations. The table shows each state's population, in thousands, before and after the country's population increase. State Original Population (in thousands) New Population (in thousands) A B Total 265 495 1120 1880 340 625 1285 2250 .... a) Use Hamilton's method to apportion the 24 congressional seats using the original population. State A В Total Original Population (in thousands) 265 495 1120 1880 Number of Congressional Seats 4 6 14 24 (Type integers or decimals.) b) Find the percent increase, to the nearest tenth of a percent in the population of each state. State Original Population New Population Percent Increase in Population A B Total 265 495 1120 1880 340 625 1285 2250 28.3 % 26.3 % 14.7 % (Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as needed.) c) Use Hamilton's method to apportion the 24 congressional seats using the new population. State New Population (in thousands) A B Total 340 625 1285 2250 Number of Congressional Seats (Type integers or decimals.) 24
