In the above table, the total utility of three slices of pizza is:

- ( ) 70
- ( ) 20
- ( ) 80
- ( ) 50

**Explanation:**

The table illustrates the relationship between the number of pizza slices and the corresponding total and marginal utility. 

1. **Total Utility**: The satisfaction or benefit received from consuming a certain number of pizza slices.
2. **Marginal Utility**: The additional utility derived from consuming an extra slice of pizza.

To find the total utility for three slices:
- Start with 50 utility for 2 slices.
- Add 20 marginal utility for the 3rd slice.

Thus, total utility for three slices is 70.
