How can I set this question up as an equation? Each week, Tom Wu buys two hamburgers at $2 each, eight cokes at $0.50 each, and eight slices of Pizza at $1 each, but he buys no hot-dogs at $1.50 each. What can you deduce about Tom's marginal utility for each of the four goods? How can I set this question up as an equation? When I set it up using the fundamental condition of consumer equilibrium I got that hotdogs have a higher utility than hamburgers and I know thats not right. If I look at it intuitively I see that MUpizza > MUcoke = MU hamburger > MUhotdog Is that right?
