Explain the relationship between total utility and marginal utility?

Total Utility can mean the total amount of satisfaction gained from the purchase or consumption of a product. Marginal Utility is the amount of satisfaction gained from purchasing or consuming more of the same product. For Example: If you purchased two slices of Pizza, Your total utility would be the satisfaction you receive from consuming both slices. Your marginal utility would be the satisfaction you gained consuming an additional slice (i.e. The difference between consuming two slices versus one slice) Typically your marginal utility decreases as your consumption increases. For Example: If you have eight pizzas, one extra slice is not likely to bring you as much satisfaction as a second slice would if you only had one slice of pizza (as opposed to eight pizzas).


What is the difference between marginal utility and marginal benefit?

I think this is the answer, based off my textbook, "Microeconomics" by Zupan and Browning. Marginal benefit is the "...maximum amount the consumer would pay for an additional unit" of some good. The height of the demand curve can be interpreted as showing the marginal benefit of some good. Marginal utility is the amount that total utility rises when consumption increases by one unit. For example if total utility for one scoop of ice cream is 10 units and totality utility for the second scoop of ice cream is 15 units, marginal utility measures the difference, 5 units, between the two.
