PREP1-PS-Q48

A certain city with a population of 132,000 is to be divided into 11 voting districts, and no district is to have a population that is more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district.What is the minimum possible population that the least populated district could have?



解释是这样的：
假設the minimum possible population that the least population district—x，且假設其他10個voting district的人口 more than10%：x+(x+0.1x)x10=132,000 ，x=11,000。

我的疑问是为什么是这样的思路，即其他10个地方的认可都大于10%。那样算出来的最少人口11000，其他地区不是大于10%的么。但题目中不是要求不得大于10%么~

NO more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district

=10% is allowed.

Reading  comprehension.
