Sam enjoys leisure time and money, which comes from working. • Sam has 16 non-sleeping hours in a day to work with. • Sam earns $10 per hour while working.

How many hours should Sam work to get as much utility as possible? How many hours should Sam devote to leisure to get as much utility as possible?
