b. 125 envelopes
c. 150 envelopes
d. 175 envelopes

Answer 1

Dana and Megan have filled a total of 89 envelopes together for the charity, with Dana filling 75 envelopes and Megan filling 14 envelopes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total number of envelopes Dana and Megan have filled together for a charity. Dana has filled (3/20) of 500 envelopes, which is 75 envelopes (because 3/20 multiplied by 500 equals 75). Megan has filled 14 envelopes. Therefore, to find the total number of envelopes filled by both Dana and Megan, we simply add Dana's 75 envelopes to Megan's 14 envelopes.

The calculation for the total envelopes filled is:

• Dana's envelopes: 3/20 * 500 = 75 envelopes
• Megan's envelopes: 14 envelopes
• Total envelopes filled: 75 + 14 = 89 envelopes

After adding both amounts, we find that Dana and Megan have filled a total of 89 envelopes together.
