Question

The three-legged Ork, a space creature from the universe Warhammer, wears 1 right shoe and 2 left shoes. Which set of market bundles provides an Ork with the highest level of utility? 10 right shoes and 16 left shoes 12 right shoes and 12 left shoes 15 right shoes and 14 left shoes 6 right shoes and 12 left shoes

Answer 1

Answer:

6 right shoes and 12 left shoes

Explanation:

That Ork needs 2 left shoes for every right shoe, to match the feet configuration.

So, we have to look into the possible answers, which offers a 2 to 1 ratio for the left shoes.

10 right shoes and 16 left shoes

No. Left-shoes ratio is 1.6 not the 2 we need.

12 right shoes and 12 left shoes

No, the left-shoes ratio is 1, not the 2 we need.

15 right shoes and 14 left shoes

No, the left-shoes ratio is 14/15, less than 1, so not the 2 we need.

6 right shoes and 12 left shoes

YES!  The left-shoes ratio is 2, exactly what we need.
