Suppose the price of Xylophones is $3 and the price of Yoyos is $7. Robin's marginal utility of Xylophones is 15 and the marginal utility of Yoyos is 21. In order to maximize utility, Robin should O Buy fewer Xylophones and fewer Yoyos O Buy fewer Xylophones and more Yoyos Buy fewer Yoyos and more Xylophones O Continue to buy the same number of Xylophones and Yoyos.
