The Burger Doodle restaurant chain uses a distribution center to prepare the food ingredients it provides its individual restaurants. The company is attempting to determine the location for a new distribution center that will service five restaurants. The grid-map coordinates of the five restaurants and the annual number of 40-foot trailer trucks transported to each restaurant is as follows:

a. Determine the least-cost location using the center-of gravity method.
b. Plot the five restaurants and the proposed new distribution center on a gridmap.
