Total number of pizzas Juan ordered $20$

Since, $45\%$ of pizzas have $8$ slices.

Therefore, number of pizzas with $8$ slices are: $45\%\times(20)$

$=\frac{45}{100} \times(20)$

$=\frac{45}{10} \times(2)$

$=\frac{90}{10}$

$=9$ pizzas

Also, since, $55\%$ of pizzas have $12$ slices.

Therefore, number of pizzas with $12$ slices are: $55\%\times(20)$

$=\frac{55}{100} \times(20)$

$=\frac{55}{10} \times(2)$

$=\frac{110}{10}$

$=11$ pizzas

Now, there are $9$ pizzas with $8$ slices and $11$ pizzas with $12$ slices.

Therefore, total number of slices of pizza are: $=(9)(8)+(11)(12)$

$=72+132$

$=204$ slices
