    -120

    Explanation:

    Since the utility is decreasing our marginal utility will be negative.

    Total Utility

    1st hamburger = 200

    2nd hamburger = 80

    Marginal utility for 2nd hamburger = 80 - 200 = - 120

    Negative marginal utility

    Divide the difference in total utility over the difference in units

    In this case, consuming one more hamburger added 80 utils, which is the marginal utility added.
