Question:

Suppose that a police department has 210 new officers to apportion among six precincts. The department plans to apportion the officers based on the number of crimes committed during the previous year in each precinct. Suppose that the number of crimes committed in each precinct is different and that the total number of crimes committed in all six precincts was 2940. Determine the number of crimes committed in each precinct such that Hamilton’s method, Jefferson’s method, Webster’s method, and Adams’ method all lead to the same apportionment of the 210 new officers.


When appropriate round quotas to the nearest hundredth.
