Apportioning Trucks Anabru Manufacturing has 100 forklift trucks to apportion among 3 factories. The trucks are to be apportioned based on the number of employees at each factory as shown in the table below.

Factory	A	B	C	Total
Employees	3822	7818	28,360	40,000

a. Apportion the trucks using Hamilton’s method.
b. Suppose that 1 year later the factories have the following number of employees. If the 100 forklift trucks are reapportioned to the factories, does the population paradox occur using Hamilton’s method?
