Assume you are going to lunch and have a choice of two meals. The first meal would give an increase in marginal utility of 100 with a $25 price. The second meal would give you an increase of only 10 with a $2 price. The third meal will give you an increase of 50 with a $5 price. Which meal should you logically choose?

    Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent

    Explanation:

    Logically, the meal with highest utility per Dollar spent would be the priority for me. So here:

    Meal 1 = 100 utils / $25 = 4 utils per dollar spent

    Meal 2 = 10 utils / $2 = 5 utils per dollar spent

    Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent

    As meal 3 has highest utility per dollar spent, it will generate higher value for me. So I will opt meal 3.
