    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.
