Utility is the measure of satisfaction that the consumers receive from the consumption of a unit of the commodity or service from the market. The different activities can be ordered on the basis of the utility received from each activity. Here in this case, eating an orange may be possibly the high valued activity  followed by squeezing it to drink its juice. Using the orange as a decorative fruit or giving it to a friend might follow them. A person throwing the fruit on the one whom he does not like would be the least priority item. The order can change in any manner because the utility from each activity would be different for different individuals.
