Answer 1

Fernando will pay $108 which is less than the $160 Alicia will pay.

Explanation:

Let's call what Fernando will pay `F`. We can write the equation for what Fernando will pay as:

`F = 0.6 xx $180`

`F = $108`

Let's call what Alicia will pay `A`. We can write and equation for what Alicia will pay as:

`A = $180 - $20`

`A = $160`
