To find the answer, we can set up a proportion:

8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days

Cross-multiply and solve for x:

8x = 75 * 5

8x = 375

x = 375 / 8

x ≈ 46.875

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

Therefore, the correct answer is: 47 days.
