An electronics store wants to identify a location for a warehouse that will ship to five retail stores. The coordinates and annual number of truckloads are given in the accompanying table. Develop a model to find the best location, assuming that straight-line distances can be used between the locations. Experiment with the model by testing each of the possible best solutions, included, to find the best location. Click here to view the data for the store locations and annual numbers of truckloads. Click here to view some possible best solutions. The best location is at (9,14). (Type an ordered pair. Round each coordinate to the nearest integer as needed.) The total weighted distance at the best location is (Round to tv Store Locations and Truckloads Retail Store X-Coordinate Y-Coordinate Truckloads O 11 10 21 22 6 A BCDE *** 3 8181 Print Done 222660 12 12 24 18 18 Some possible best solutions to try are listed below. .
