How many cards does Dexter have in total? ** Dexter have 9 x 15 = <<9*15=135>>135 basketball cards.
How many boxes did Dexter fill with football cards? ** He filled 9 - 3 = <<9-3=6>>6 plastic boxes with football cards.
How many cards does Dexter have in total? ** So, he has 6 x 20 = <<6*20=120>>120 football cards.
How many cards does Dexter have in total? ** Therefore, Dexter has 135 + 120 = <<135+120=255>>255 cards in total.
