Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.Sunil and his brother live in different states. The population of Sunil's state has been growing fast while the population of his brother's state has been fairly stable. nevertheless, using the Webster apportionment method last year Sunil's state lost a seat while his brother's state gained a seat.
What will be an ideal response?
No, the statement does not make sense. This would be an example of the population paradox which occurs when a slow-growing state gains a seat at the expense of a faster-growing state. The Webster apportionment method is not susceptible to this paradox.

Solve the problem.Economists use what is called a Leffer curve to predict the government revenue for tax rates from 0% to 100%. Economists agree that the end points of the curve generate 0 revenue, but disagree on the tax rate that produces the maximum revenue. Suppose an economist produces this rational function 
where R is revenue in millions at a tax rate of x percent. Use a graphing calculator to graph the function. What tax rate produces the maximum revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
A. 36.6%; $268 million B. 34.0%; $271 million C. 41.2%; $264 million D. 35.8%; $276 million
