To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross-multiplying, we get:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
