Regulations for the Restitution Offering
14 The Lord spoke to Moses:
15 When a person commits an offense by unintentionally sinning in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, he shall bring to the Lord as his restitution offering[a] an unblemished ram from the flock or its equivalent amount in silver shekels by the sanctuary weight, as a restitution offering.[b]

It may mean that the offender had to offer a ram plus whatever additional amount of silver was needed to cover the value of the offense, plus the 20% penalty.
