To calculate the overall weighted score, we need to multiply each rating by its corresponding weight and then sum them up. 
Overall Weighted Score = (Quality Rating x Quality Weight) + (Delivery Rating x Delivery Weight) + (Cost Rating x Cost Weight)
= (4 x 0.6) + (5 x 0.25) + (5 x 0.15)
= 2.4 + 1.25 + 0.75
= 4.4
Therefore, the supplier's overall weighted score is 4.4.
