Explanation / Answer

The weighted average of Maitland= (0.35*60) + (0.25*45) + (0.20*55) + (0.15*45) + (0.05*75)

= 21+ 11.25+ 11+ 6.75 + 3.75

= 53.75

The weighted average of Baptist church = (0.35*70) + (0.25*85) + (0.20*75) + (0.15*70) + (0.05*20)

= 24.5+21.25+15+10.5+1

= 72.75

The weighted average of north side mall = (0.35*75) + (0.25*35) + (0.20*65) + (0.15*40) + (0.05*90)

= 26.25 + 8.75 + 13+ 6+ 4.5

= 58.5

The best location in Buffalo for subway to open a new restaurant is BAPTIST CHURCH with a weighted average = 72.75
