A school district receives a grant to purchase 55 new computers to be apportioned among 6 schools in the district based on the student population of each school. The following student populations are given in the following table;

SCHOOL:......... A.......B.........C........D.......E........F

POPULATION: 314....211.....197.....243....279....325

Find the modified quota for school B using the divisor 28.5

Solution

The Modified Quota for each state is calculated by using the Modified Divisor instead of the Standard Divisor.

MQ = State Population / MD

Here MD=28.5

so Modified quota for school B =211/28.5 =7.4 =7 (because computer are in integers )
