    city A = 3 members in the committee

    city B = members in the committee

    city C = 4 members in the committee

    Explanation:

    City A: 18,000 people

    City B: 21,000 people

    City C: 22,000 people

    total 61,000 people

    A seat in the committee will be assigned for every 6,100 people

    city A = 18,000 / 6,100 = 2.95 ⇒ city A will get 2 + 1 = 3 members in the committee

    city B = 21,000 / 6,100 = 3.44 ⇒ city B will get 3 + 0 = 3 members in the committee

    city C = 22,000 / 6,100 = 3.61 ⇒ city A will get 3 + 1 = 4 members in the committee

    2 + 3 + 3 = 8, there were 2 remaining committee members that should be divided using the size of the remainders: 0.95 > 0.61 > 0.44
