Answer:

$1 per pound

Explanation:

Marginal utility is defined as the additional satisfaction that a person gains from consumption of an additional unit of a product.

Since Robinson spends all of his money on mangoes and bananas his the marginal utility per price of each product will be equal.

This is called equi marginal utility (Gossens second law).

Marginal utility of mango ÷ price of mango = marginal utility of banana ÷ price of banana

30 ÷ 3 = 10 ÷ price of mango

10 = 10 ÷ price of mango

Cross multiply

Price of mango * 10 = 10

Price of mango = 10 ÷ 10 = $1 per pound
