The answer is:
490.50

20+30=50
327x.5=163.5
163.5+327=490.50

$490.50 was the original price of the ski set

To solve- you multiply 327 and 0.2 (20%) which equals 65.4

Then you multiple 327 and 0.3 (30%) which equals 98.1

To find the final original price, you add up 65.4,98.1, and 327

Then to double check your answer, you can take 30% and then 20% of the originally price and subtract them from the original price

I hope my answer was clear enough!
