Chapter 4, Problem 26E

The small republic of Guayuru (see Example 4.11) consists of five states (A, B, C, D and E for short). The populations of the five states are shown in Table 4-33. Find the apportionment under Jefferson’s method of the $\text{M}=40$ seats in the Guayuru House of Representatives. (Hint: Look for suitable divisors in the internal 9000 to 9500.)

Table 4-33

State	A	B	C	D	E
