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#
