B. This cannot be determined because we do not know the price of corn chips and soda and whether or not she fully spent her budget allocated to com chips and soda
C. Yes. She is maximizing utility.
D. No. She is maximizing marginal utility but not total utility.

Explanation: Marginal utility refers to the extra satisfaction a consumer achieves from purchasing additional units of a particular commodity.

Now, in order for us to fully determined if LaToya is maximizing her utility, we will need to know the prices at which the products consumed have been bought and we will then compare them with each other. We will also need to know the budget constraints that LaToya is working with in order to fully determine if the utility has been maximized.

This is because Marginal Utility is usually calculated as the Marginal utility gotten from a commodity divided by the price of that commodity, this helps to know how much utility is gotten per unit dollar spent.
