The table shows the prices of seafood items at a local seafood market in Galveston, Texas. Felecia orders two pounds of shrimp, six blue crabs and three red snapper fillets. The seafood market charges a convenience fee of $5 per order. Felecia paid with a $100 bill.

Seafood Price List
Item	Price
Blue Crabs	$16.50 (per dozen)
Red Snapper Fillet	$7.79 (per fillet)
Shrimp	$12.99 (per pound)

How much change should Felecia receive from the $100 bill?

Let's break down the calculation step by step:

### Prices and Quantities:
1. **Shrimp**: $12.99 per pound, and Felecia orders 2 pounds.
   - Cost of shrimp: 
   \[
   12.99 \times 2 = 25.98
   \]

2. **Blue Crabs**: $16.50 per dozen, and Felecia orders 6 blue crabs.
   - Since 6 blue crabs are half of a dozen, the cost of blue crabs is:
   \[
   \frac{16.50}{2} = 8.25
   \]

3. **Red Snapper Fillets**: $7.79 per fillet, and Felecia orders 3 fillets.
   - Cost of red snapper fillets:
   \[
   7.79 \times 3 = 23.37
   \]

### Total Cost Before Fees:
Now, let's sum up the costs:
\[
25.98 + 8.25 + 23.37 = 57.60
\]

### Convenience Fee:
The seafood market charges a $5 convenience fee:
\[
57.60 + 5 = 62.60
\]

### Amount Paid and Change:
Felecia pays with a $100 bill. To find the change, subtract the total cost from the amount she paid:
\[
100 - 62.60 = 37.40
\]

### Answer:
Felecia should receive **$37.40** in change.
