Explanation / Answer

weighted score of Maitland = (0.35*55)+(0.25*35)+(0.20*45)+(0.15*55)+(0.05*88) = 19.25 + 8.75 + 9 + 8.25 + 4.4 = 49.5.

Weighted score of Baptist church = (0.35*75)+(0.25*85)+(0.20*85)+(0.15*70)+(0.05*15) = 26.5+21.5+17+10.5+0.75 = 76.25

Weighted score of Northside Mall = (0.35*80)+(0.25*35)+(0.20*60)+(0.15*40)+(0.05*85) = 28+8.75+12+6+4.25 = 59.

So the best location is Baptist church with weighted score of 76.25
