Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

Maria earned $126 in simple interest from her savings account. If she invested $450 for 7 years what was the interest rate?
RSB [31]
The answer is B. You didn't mention compounding, so I have to assume that this is simple interest. The formula for simple interest is 
<span>Interest = principal * interest rate expressed as a decimal * time in years. </span>
<span>$126 = $450 * X * 7. Now multiply $450 * 7 years = $3,150 </span>
<span>$126 = 3,150X </span>

<span>What has been done to the X? It was multiplied by $3,150. What is the opposite of multiplication? It is division. Remember that whatever we do to one side of the equal sign we must also do to the other side of the equal sign. </span>

<span>$126 = $3,150X </span>
<span>-------____---------- </span>
<span>$3,150__$3,150 </span>

<span>Any number over itself = 1. Now we have </span>
<span>.04 = X </span>

<span>To change a decimal to a percent move the decimal place two places to the right and add a percent sign. </span>
<span>.04 = 4$. The answer is B</span>
