Multiple Choice

Table 21-3
​
Ethan consumes two goods, milk and pretzels. Milk costs $2 per glass, and he consumes it to the point where the marginal utility he receives from his last glass of milk is 6. Pretzels cost $4 per bag. The relationship between the marginal utility Ethan gets from eating a bag of pretzels and the number of bags he eats per month is as follows:
​
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Bags of Pretzels } & \text { Marginal Utility } \\\hline 1 & 30 \\\hline 2 & 20 \\\hline 3 & 12 \\\hline 4 & 6 \\\hline 5 & 2 \\\hline 6 & 0 \\\hline\end{array}$$ ​
​
-Refer to Table 21-3. If Ethan is maximizing his utility, how many bags of pretzels does he buy each month?

A) 4
B) 3
