Calculating the total score for each company:- Company A: (0.30 * 90) + (0.40 * 80) + (0.30 * 60) = 27 + 32 + 18 = 77- Company C: (0.30 * 70) + (0.40 * 95) + (0.30 * 60) = 21 + 38 + 18 = 77- Company B: (0.30 * 70) + (0.40 * 80) + (0.30 * 80) = 21 + 32 + 24 = 77All companies scored a total of 77, hence they all scored the same.
