125. Every month, a distribution center will deliver 14,000 units to Retailer A at coordinates (20, 10), 12,000 units to Retailer B at coordinates (30, -15), and 20,000 units to Retailer C at coordinates (4, 4). Assuming no constraints on location, at what coordinates should the distribution center be located (rounded to two decimal places)?
(15.65, 0.87), where 15.65 = [20(14) + 30(12) + 4(20)]/(14 + 12 + 20),
and 0.87 = [10(14) − 15(12) + 4(20)]/(14 + 12 + 20).
