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

We know that Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days.

So, we can set up the proportion:

8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days

Cross multiplying gives us:

8x = 5 * 75

Multiply 5 by 75:

8x = 375

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

x = 375 / 8

Simplify:

x ≈ 46.875

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