Answer to Question 1

The total utility from consuming any product is the sum of the marginal utilities of each unit of the product. So, if the five hamburgers yielded marginal utilities of 12, 8, 7, 5, and 3, respectively, the total utility from hamburgers would equal 35.

Answer to Question 2

B

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
