There are three customer locations with x- and y-coordinates of (12, 4), (11, 3), and (2, 2), respectively. The customers have a projected shipment volume of 20, 25, and 14, respectively. Using the center-of-gravity technique, what is the y-coordinate of a facility to serve these customers (to two decimal places)?
A) 8.33
B) 3.10
C) 9.20
D) Cannot be determined from the information given
