Suppose that a small country consists of four states: A (population 3,251,000), B (population 2,541,000), C (population 990,000), and D (population 1,718,000). Suppose that there are M= 170 seats in the legislature, to be apportioned among the four states based on their respective populations. Find the apportionment of each state under Jefferson's method. (Hint: Look for suitable divisors in the interval 49,250 to 49,600.) Complete the table of each state's apportionment below. State A B Total Apportionment 170 Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.
