During a study session for an economics exam with three other students, Peter Daltry commented on an example of a consumer who had to decide on number of slices of pizza and cups of Coca-Cola he would consume. Peter explained that "To maximize his utility this consumer must equate the marginal utility per dollar for pizza and Coca-Cola." Was Peter's analysis correct?
