this seems to be a "second part" and we would need the setup for the first part to be able to understand what this question needs

amistre64 · Answer

"The Modified Quota (MQ) for each state is the same as the Standard Quota except that the calculation is done using the Modified Divisor instead of the Standard Divisor." http://www.ctl.ua.edu/math103/apportionment/quick.htm this might be useful for you
