Answer:

The answer is: Consume more good Y and less good X.

Explanation:

The marginal utility of good Y is greater than the marginal utility of good X. This means that an extra unit consumed of good Y will give the consumer a grater satisfaction than consuming an extra unit of good X. So if the consumer wants to increase his total utility (satisfaction) he should buy more units of good Y.
