    800 more reels

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Decrease of 20 percent means

    800 *.20

    160 reels less

    800-160 = 640 reels produced

    There are 30 days in April

    days * 640 reel / day

    30 * 640 = 19200 reels produced in 30 days

    They need 20000 reels

    20000-19200 = 800 more 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.
