The marginal utility is the additional satisfaction or utility that a person receives from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Typically, the first unit of a good consumed provides the highest marginal utility because it satisfies the most immediate and strongest need or desire for that good. Therefore, without seeing the specific table, based on the principle of diminishing marginal utility, the first clove of garlic would have the largest marginal utility.
