I have two locations where I will be delivering goods. Vaalbara is located at coordinates (10,0) and I have 10 truckloads going to it. Kenorland is located at coordinates (20,20) and I have 40 truckloads going to it. What is the center of gravity's X coordinate? Round to the nearest whole number (e.g. 33.2 -> 33).  I have two locations where I will be delivering goods. Vaalbara is located at coordinates (10,0) and I have 10 truckloads going to it. Kenorland is located at coordinates (20,20) and I have 40 truckloads going to it. What is the center of gravity's Y coordinate? Round to the nearest whole number (e.g. 33.2 -> 33). 0*10 + 20*40 = 800. Sum of loads = 50. Y coordinate = 16
You need to locate a distribution center to serve the West Coast. Using the map below, find the location that will minimize the average transportation cost to our five major customers. In the text box, answer the following questions: What is the optimal X coordinate (to 1 decimal place)? What is the optimal Y coordinate (to 1 decimal place)? You don't have to figure out which city is closest to your coordinates.

A farmers' cooperative association plans to build a new sugar mill in Southwestern Louisiana. The primary objective of the mill is to provide the farmers with a place to take their crop for processing and then transport the processed crop to their customers. While there are over 200 sugar cane farms in the region, they are tightly clustered around a few villages. Using the data below, calculate the coordinates of the best location for this mill. All mileage references use the city of Lake Charles as (0,0).
