Answer:

The correct answer is 20 Utils

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal utility is the change in the utility from an increase in the consumption of a good or service.

Example of Maria

Maria gets 80 utils from consuming 5 cookies

If Maria consumes 6 cookies, The Utils change from 80 to 100. This difference of 20 is called marginal utility. (100-80=20)
