In each fictional country in problems 11-12, use the rules of the U.S. government (assume that all of a state's electoral votes go to the candidate who received the majority of the votes in that state) to complete the table and determine the following:
The winner of the popular vote in the country and the percentage of votes they won.
The winner of the electoral college who becomes the president and the percentage of electoral votes they won.
In this country from problem 9, there is one representative for every 55,000 residents.
