Jennifer gets 5 utils from consuming her first slice of pizza, 4 utils from the second slice, 3 utils from the third, etc. Each slice of pizza costs $1. She also gets 4 utils from her first soda, 2 utils from the second, and 1 util from the third. Each soda costs $1. If Jennifer only has $4 to spend and spends it all on pizza and sodas, what is her total utility from the purchase if she wants to maximize her total utility?
