The items need to be counted each day are 108 items

Explanation:

To calculate how many items need to be counted each day we would have to calculate first the amount of items according to its percentages as follows:

A items are 0.1 * 7000 = 700

B items are 0.35 * 7000 = 2,450

C Items are 0.55 * 700 = 3,850

Therefore, to calculate how many items need to be counted each day we would have to make the following calculation:

Items to be counted everyday = 700/20 + 2450/60 + 3850/120 = 108 items
