7. The BD restaurant chain purchases materials from four different food suppliers. The
company wants to construct a new central distribution center to process and package
the materials before shipping them to their various restaurants. The suppliers transport
items in 40-foot truck trailers, each with a capacity of 38,000 lbs. The locations of the
four suppliers and the annual number of trailer loads that will be transported to the
distribution center are shown in the following table (distance in miles). Using the
center-of-gravity method, determine a possible location for the distribution center.

BD wants to evaluate three different sites it has identified for its new distribution center
relative to the four suppliers identified. The coordinates of the three sites under
consideration are as follows:
Site 1: x1 = 360, y₁ = 180
Site 2: X2 = 420, y2 = 450
Site 3: X3 =
250, y3 = 400
