Why does marginal utility decrease?

Law of diminishing marginal utility states that equal additions to a good provide smaller and smaller increases in total utility, therefore marginal utility decreases. Lets use apples for an example. The first apple is very satisfying and adds a lot of utility, say 100 total utility. If you have a second apple, it is less satisfying, and adds 80 to make 180 total utility. A third apple adds only 50 utility, to make 230 total. Total utility is increasing at a decreasing rate. Therefore, the marginal utility (satisfaction) between each apple is decreasing, which illustrates the law of diminishing marginal utility.
