The correct answer is B: A decrease of 20% is the same as multiplying by 80%.. This means that paying 80% (0.8x) and paying the full price with 20% off (0.2x) is exactly the same thing.

I believe the equation is y=350+150x with y being the total amount of money in his account and x being the number of months..Paul starts with $350, which is the y-intercept (starting value) of the equation then the slope is 150 because his total savings increases by $150 for every month he saves without making any withdrawals. I apologize if I'm wrong but I hope this helps.
