Two shops

In two different shops, the same skis had the same price. In the first, however, they first became more expensive by 20% and then cheaper by 5%. In the second, they were first cheaper by 5% and then more expensive by 30%, so after these adjustments in the second store, they sold them by 33.25 euros more expensive. What was the original price of these skis?

Correct answer:

x =  350 Eur

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} x\cdot 1.20\cdot 0.95+33.25=x\cdot 0.95\cdot 1.30 \\ 0.095x=33.25 \\ x=350=350\text{ Eur} \end{gathered}$$
