To calculate the score for each location, multiply the rating by the weight for each factor and then sum these products. For Gary Mall: $ (20 \times 30) + (40 \times 50) + (20 \times 30) + (20 \times 10) = 600 + 2000 + 600 + 200 = 3400 $. For Belt Line: $ (20 \times 30) + (40 \times 20) + (20 \times 40) + (20 \times 30) = 600 + 800 + 800 + 600 = 2800 $. However, the question seems to have intended to ask for the weighted sum in a simplified form, which would be 34 for Gary Mall and 28 for Belt Line, assuming a division by 100 that was not explicitly stated in the question.
