Which is Matthew's Favourite Restaurant ?

[Tomm]

Recently, Matthew got 2 new part-time jobs.
The jobs are roster-based. He works at
each job in alternate weeks. In office 1, he works
in week #1, week #3, week #5, and so forth.
In office 2, he works in week #2, week #4, week #6,
and so forth.

In office 1, he works 3 days per week. In office 2, he
works only 2 days per week.

During lunch time, he always eats at a nearby restaurant.

During the past 8 weeks, he ate at restaurant A 17 times,
restaurant B 7 times, restaurant C 0 times, restaurant D
16 times and restaurant E 0 times. Below is a map of his
workplaces and nearby restaurants.

Now, the question is so far which is Matthew's favourite
restaurant ?

Yes, Brinny, you got it right.
Restaurant D is the answer. But why ?

 

[brinny]

He must like the restaurant a LOT to travel further to get to it, otherwise he'd go to one closer....?

That's good reasoning, but it's only part of the reason.

 

[brinny]

He knows someone who works there?

 

[Tigger45]

Because with D he had two other choices but still chose D?

 

[Tomm]

He knows someone who works there?

hmmmm.... he knows someone who works there...?
hmmmmm....

 

[brinny]

Hmmmm.......yeah, now that i think about it, he's got a girlfriend that works at restaurant D?

 

[brinny]

hmmmm.... he knows someone who works there...?
hmmmmm....

LOL!

 

[Tomm]

Because with D he had two other choices but still chose D?

hmmmmm...
hmmmm... that's good, but not the full explanation, full explanation please.

 

[Tigger45]

Because with D he had two other choices but still chose D?

And it was farther.

 

[Tomm]

And it was farther.

hmmm.... that's also part of the explanation, but there's still something missing.

Hint: the whole explanation should be based on numbers.

 

[brinny]

LOL! No WONDER ya' lost me.....

Restaurant D.
Divide the number of times he went to each restaurant by the number of days worked at the nearby office per week to get a rate. D is the highest rate.
