1 answer

To find the number of days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we can use the following proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days

To solve for x, cross-multiply and divide:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875

Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.

Therefore, the correct option is: 47 days.
