Emilia should consider her marginal utility when choosing between the two snacks. Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction or benefit she gains from consuming one more unit of a product. If she derives greater satisfaction from an additional bag of peanuts than from popcorn, then option C becomes the best choice—it’s all about maximizing her enjoyment within her budget.
In the real world, this concept is applied in various decision-making scenarios. For example, think about how consumers choose between different brands or types of products. By assessing how much more they enjoy one brand over another, customers can make smarter purchasing decisions that align with their preferences and maximize their overall pleasure while still staying within their budget constraints.
