    13.4 dollars

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The final amount is given by:

    F=I (1+rt)

    Where

    I = initial amount

    r = interest rate

    t = time interval

    F = final amount

    Now in our case

    r = 1.2

    t = 7

    F = $126

    Therefore I=F / (1+rt) = 126 / (1+1.2*7) = 13.4 dollars.
