Divide the total amount of envelopes by the number of envelopes you can fit into a carton:



22500 / 500 = \boxed{45}


You would need 45 cartons to complete the task.

Since there are 22500 cartons, and each can hold 500 envelopes, the operation we need to do is a division.


We just do:
22500 ÷
500, and we get
45.


So the answer is: 45.
