Alex may have to lower the price to convince Clara to buy a second slice.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is an economic concept that says that a consumer recieves more marginal utility in the first consumption of a good or services than in the second and the subsequents. In fact with each consumption the marginal utility reduces, this effect is known as diminishing marginal utility.

One of the the methods to reduce the effects of the diminishing marginal utility is to reduces prices. As the utility of a product decreases as its consumption increases, consumers are willing to pay smaller amount of money for more of the product.
