PSLEThere are some stickers in albums X and Y. 75% of the stickers in album X and 20% of the stickers in album Y are oval stickers. There is an equal number of square stickers in both albums. If there are 242 more oval stickers in album X than in album Y, how many stickers are there in both albums altogether?

34The number of square stickers in both albums is the same. Make the number of square stickers the same. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Number of more oval stickers in Album X than Album Y
= 12 u - 1 u
= 11 u
11 u = 242
1 u = 242 ÷ 11 = 22
Number of stickers in both albums
= 12 u + 4 u + 1 u + 4 u
= 21 u
= 21 x 22
= 462
Answer(s): 462
