To determine the best choice, we calculate the weighted scores for each restaurant:- For A: $0.15 \times 40 + 0.30 \times 75 + 0.15 \times 60 + 0.10 \times 90 + 0.30 \times 70 = 6 + 22.5 + 9 + 9 + 21 = 67.5$- For B: $0.15 \times 65 + 0.30 \times 80 + 0.15 \times 40 + 0.10 \times 100 + 0.30 \times 80 = 9.75 + 24 + 6 + 10 + 24 = 73.75$- For C: $0.15 \times 60 + 0.30 \times 70 + 0.15 \times 70 + 0.10 \times 75 + 0.30 \times 75 = 9 + 21 + 10.5 + 7.5 + 22.5 = 70.5$Restaurant B has the highest weighted score of 73.75, making it the best choice.
