The consumer would buy based on the maximum utility derived, which is calculated using marginal utility. As the marginal utility is maximum for office productivity apps, the consumer would buy 4 units of office productivity

So, 4*40 = $160 would be spent for office productivity where as with the remaining $4, one unit of Economics statistics apps would be bought.
