Answer:

She should buy more milk and less bread.

Explanation:

Mrs. Wilson is not taking advantage of the most suitable combination of milk and bread, because Mrs. Simpson is actually spending more on less bread when she could be spending more on even more milk.

This is because the marginal utility per penny spent on bread is 0.80 and the marginal utility per penny spent on milk is 0.875.
