    a. $1,147.20

    Explanation:

    Simple interest means the same amount will be paid as interest per year.

    We will use the following formula to solve for Olivia's interest after 7 years.

    Interest = principal * interest rate * time

    Principal = $800

    Interest rate = 6.2%

    Time = 7 years

    Interest = 800 * 0.062 * 7

    Interest = $347.20

    So the total money owed to Olivia is = 800 + 347.20 = $1,147.20
