44,440 butterflies
Way we solved it:
Students figured that there were 3 days more of 32 work hours needed. Three was divided into 1515 to determine the number of envelopes opened on average each day. That meant that there were 505 envelopes opened on the first day. Added 505 to 1515 to get 2020 then multiplied 2020 by 22 to get 44,440.
We enjoyed it.
