Chapter 4, Problem 9(choose chapter or problem)
The Interplanetary Federation of Fraternia consists of six planets: Alpha Kappa, Beta Theta, Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, Epsilon Tau, and Phi Sigma (A, B, C, D, E, and F for short). The federation is governed by the Inter Fraternia Congress, consisting of 200 seats apportioned among the planets according to their populations. Table 27 gives the planet populations as percentages of the total population of Fraternia:
(a) Find the standard divisor (expressed as a percent of the total population).
(b) Find the standard quota for each planet.

TABLE 27
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
\(\text { Standard Quota }=\frac{\text { Population of state }}{\text { Standard Divisor }}\)
\(\text { Standard Divisor }=\frac{\text { Total population }}{\text { Total number of seats }}\)
