A distributor purchases two materials from different suppliers. These materials are configured into mixed loads at the distributor's warehouse, and are then sold to three retailers. Using the information below, calculate the x and y coordinates for the location of the warehouse using the grid technique. Show your step by step calculations.
| Suppliers | Rate $/Ton-Mile | Tons | Horizontal Grid Coordinate (x) | Vertical Grid Coordinate (y) |
| Memphis, TN | $0.80 | 400 | 250 | 600 |
| St. Louis, MO | $0.90 | 600 | 225 | 825 |
| Retailers | ||||
| Jacksonville, FL | $1.00 | 200 | 800 | 300 |
| New York, NY | $0.90 | 300 | 1000 | 1080 |
| Raleigh, NC | $1.10 | 400 | 900 | 600 |
Group of answer choices
Horizontal (x) = 500, Vertical (y) = 725
Horizontal (x) = 553, Vertical (y) = 701
Horizontal (x) = 495, Vertical (y) = 650
Horizontal (x) = 571, Vertical (y) = 695
