You didn't provide any information about Ashley's paychecks but she will probably
Ashley will buy two fewer slices of pizza.

That is because of the law of demand and supply which states that if prices goes up then sales become lower. If the price per piece go up then she will buy fewer pieces because she still has the same amount of money since her paycheck probably didn't increase by a dollar for each pizza slice.
