    The factory normally produces 800 reels a day.

    They have to cut their production by 1/5, however.

    800 * 4/5 = 640 reels a day.

    30 days would mean 640 * 30 reels ... 19200 reels.

    This is less than 20,000, so the factory will NOT be able to produce enough reels.

    Multiply 800 to 4/5 to see how much they make per day.

    800 * 4/5 = 640

    So they make 640 fishing reels per day.

    Multiply this to 30:

    640 * 30 = 19,200

    So they will make 19,200 fishing reels in 30 days.

    This is not enough for the order.
