The Quota Rule states that the number of seats apportioned to a state should be as close as possible to the state's quota. The quota for a state is calculated by dividing the state's population by the total population of all the states. In this case, the total population of all the states is 912,000 + 1,117,000 + 4,537,000 + 739,000 + 695,000 = 8,000,000. The quota for state c is 4,537,000 / 8,000,000 = 0.5671. The Jefferson Method apportions 130 seats to state c, which is less than its quota of 131 seats. Therefore, the apportionment for state c violates the Quota Rule.
