I think you can take the relative increase in total population and multiply that by the current number of police officers. For instance, in the example in the video, adding district C increased the population by 5,250/100,000 = 0.525. Therefore, there should be 0.525 * 100 = 5.25 ≈ 5 new police officers.
I think you should've shown how to get the number of seats that need to be added when a new state is being added.
What if we're not given the number of additional police officers, how is one to find that information if only given the population of District C?
Jay Wilson I want to know this too!
