To calculate the score for Chester, we need to multiply the ratings by their respective weights and add them up.
Score for Chester = (0.30 x 75) + (0.25 x 60) + (0.15 x 80) + (0.30 x 40) = 22.50 + 15.00 + 12.00 + 12.00 = 61.50
Therefore, the score for Chester is 61.50.
The best choice(s) cannot be determined with the given information as we do not know the weightage assigned to each factor. It would depend on the priorities of the clothing chain.
