City a, city b, and city c are cooperating to build a community center catering to the three cities. seats on the 10-member committee are assigned according to the populations of the cities. the population of city a is 18,000; the population for city b is 21,000; and the population city c is 22,000. assign the seats to the committee using hamilton's method of apportionment.

city A = 3 members in the committee

city B = members in the committee

city C = 4 members in the committee

Explanation:

City A: 18,000 people

City B: 21,000 people

City C: 22,000 people

total 61,000 people

A seat in the committee will be assigned for every 6,100 people

city A = 18,000 / 6,100 = 2.95 ⇒ city A will get 2 + 1 = 3 members in the committee

city B = 21,000 / 6,100 = 3.44 ⇒ city B will get 3 + 0 = 3 members in the committee

city C = 22,000 / 6,100 = 3.61 ⇒ city A will get 3 + 1 = 4 members in the committee

2 + 3 + 3 = 8, there were 2 remaining committee members that should be divided using the size of the remainders: 0.95 > 0.61 > 0.44
