The marginal utility of the fourth slice is calculated by subtracting the total utility of the third slice from the total utility of the fourth slice. Given the total utility for the third slice is missing, we can infer it by adding the marginal utility of the third slice (15 utils) to the total utility of the second slice (39 utils), which gives us 54 utils for the third slice. Subtracting this from the total utility of the fourth slice (59 utils) gives us a marginal utility of 5 utils for the fourth slice.
