Using Solver to Optimize Location for Steel Appliances1. Using Data | Analysis | Solver, solve the model to obtain location of facility represented by pink dot in chart below.

2. Change tonnage from St. Lous in Cell D7 to 1,700. How doyou expect location of facility to change? Try using Solver.

3. Change tonnage from St. Lous in Cell D7 to 2,700. How doyou expect location of facility to change? Try using Solver.
