To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross multiply to solve for x:
8 * x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
Therefore, the correct response is:
47 days
