Answer 1

Answer is 105 items.

Calculations and explanations:

A items = 11% of 6600 = 726

Thus A items per day = 726/21 = 34.57

B items = 37% of 6600 = 2,442

Thus B items per day = 2442/59 = 41.39

C items = 52% of 6600 = 3,432

Thus C items per day = 3432/119 = 28.84

Thus total number of items that needs to be counted each day = 34.57+41.39+28.84 = 104.80. This will be rounded to 105 items

The total number of items that needs to be counted each day is 105 items
