Answer:

The first envelope contained $300 and the second envelope contained $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 of $300 is $180, so you subtract that from $300 to get a sum of $120.

Then you subtract $80 from $200 to get a sum of $120.

Therefore:

The first envelope contained $300 and the second contained $200.

Have a good day! :)
