Stacy eats lunch at a local restaurant two or three times a
week. In selecting a restaurant on a typical workday, Stacy uses
three criteria: distance, average cost, and variety of menu
options. She wants to minimize the distance and cost and maximize
the variety. The following table summarizes the values for these
attributes for each restaurant.
The variety score reflects Stacy’s personal judgment on each
restaurant’s menu options (0- worst variety, 100-best variety).
Stacy concludes that she weighs the variety and distance the same,
and the weight for the cost is 0.4. If Stacy chooses a restaurant
based on the overall weighted score of these attributes, where
should she go for lunch today?
