After getting an A on your economics exam, you decide to go to your favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate. You are having trouble deciding whether to order the chipotle chicken chimichanga or the cilantro seafood enchiladas
Use the rule of equal marginal utility per dollar to determine which one to purchase: (a) the chimichanga for $8 which gives you 120 units of utility, or (b) the enchiladas for $15 which gives you 195 units of utility?
You should buy the chimichanga because the MU per dollar is 15 while MU per dollar for the enchiladas is only 13.
