To find out how many days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion.

The rate of 8 toys every 5 days can be written as 8 toys / 5 days.

Let's use x to represent the number of days it will take to fill the order of 75 toys.

This can be written as x days / 75 toys.

Setting up the proportion: 8 toys / 5 days = x days / 75 toys.

Cross-multiplying, we get: 8 * 75 = 5 * x.

Simplifying, we have: 600 = 5x.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we find: x = 120.

Thus, it will take Jamal 120 days to fill an order of 75 toys.

Therefore, the answer is 120 days.
