Chapter 4, Problem 25E

Find the apportionment under Jefferson’s method of the SMARTS buses to the six routes described in Exercise 3. (Hint: Look for suitable divisors in the interval 1000 to 1035).

3. The Scotia Metropolitan Area Rapid Transit Service (SMARTS) operates six bus routes (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and 125 buses. The number of buses apportioned to each route is based on the number of passengers riding that route. $\underset{\_}{\text{Table }4-23}$ shows the daily average ridership on each route.

Table 4-23

Route	A	B	C	D	E	F
Ridership	$45,300$	$31,070$	$20,490$	$14,160$	$10,260$	$8,720$
