Know the Answer?

Dahlia Villegas · Answer 1

A) 57 utils

Explanation:

All three sodas

22+20+15=57

Waylon Mcdonald · Answer 2

A. 57

Explanation:

Given:

First can of soda: 22 units Second can of soda: 20 units Third can of soda: 25 units

Because Marginal utility refers to utility obtained from the consumption of an additional unit of goods. It is the satisfaction of consumers for the use of additional unit of goods or services.

So the total utility of consuming the three units is:

First can of soda + Second can of soda + Third can of soda

= 22 + 20 + 15 = 57 units

We choose A
