A certain city with a population of 72,000 is to be divided into 11 voting districts , and no district is to have a population that is more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district What is the minimum possible population that the least populated district could have ?
Choose the most appropriate option:
A) a) 6,000
B) b) 10,800
C) c) 10,900
D) d) 11,000
E) e) 11,100
Let x = number of people in smallest district   x*1.1 = number of people in largest district   x will be minimised when the number of people in largest district is maximised   10*x*1.1 = 11x = total number of people in other districts   So we have 11x + x = 72k   x = 6,000   a) 6,000nswer : a) 6,000
