2520000 teabags, or 2.52 million teabags were produced in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must determine how many minutes are in 21 hours. We know there are 60 minutes in an hour. What is 60*21? The answer is 1260.

Therefore, there are 1260 minutes in an hour.

Because 2000 bags are bagged in a minute, we must determine 2000*1260 which is 2520000.

Therefore, 2520000 teabags, or 2.52 million teabags were produced in a day.
