Answer:

Tony spent more money.

Step-by-step explanation:

For tony,

The total packs of pencil = 3,

Price of each pack = $ 4,

So, the total amount spent by him/her on packs of pencil = 3 × 4

The price of the pencil box bought by him/her = $ 7,

So, his/her spending = 3 × 4 + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19

For Mario,

Number of binders = 4,

Price of each binder = $ 6,

So, the total cost of binders = 4 × 6

After getting a coupon of $ 6 off,

His/her total spending = 4 × 6 - 6 = 24 - 6 = 18

∵ 19 > 18

Hence, Tony spent more money.
