How can you compute the total utility derived from consuming five hamburgers using marginal utilities?

What will be an ideal response?


The total utility from consuming any product is the sum of the marginal utilities of each unit of the product. So, if the five hamburgers yielded marginal utilities of 12, 8, 7, 5, and 3, respectively, the total utility from hamburgers would equal 35.
