Answer:

80 units

Explanation:

Given:

  • Price: $25 we have: 100 units
  • Price: $20, how many units to maximize the total utility

Let X is the number of units we need to find

As we know that, the law of equal-marginal utility a consumer spends his or her income among goods so that utilities receive from the amount spent is equal. So we use a simple rule of three:

$25    100 units of utility

$20      X

<=> 25X = 20*100

<=> X = 80 units

Hope it will find you well.
