Please assist in answering and explaining the following question:
Patricia is researching a venues for a restaurant business. She is evaluating three major attributes that she consider important in her choice: taste, location and price. The value she places on each attribute, however, differs according to what type of restaurant she is going to start. If she opens a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles, then taste is the most important attribute, three times as important as location, and two times as important as price. If she opens a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, then location becomes three times as important as taste, and two times as important as price. She is considering two venues, respectively, a steak restaurant and a pizza restaurant, both of which are priced the same. She has rated each attribute on a scale of 1-100 for each of the two different types of restaurants.
