Answer:

If a state has 18 representatives, then the state will have 20 votes.

If a state has 32 electoral votes, then the state has 30 representatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of votes that a state is given is defined by the amount of seats they are given in the House of Representatives (which is defined by the % of population the area holds in comparison with the whole country), as well as the Senate, in which each state is given 2 votes each regardless of population.
