Each of the ICC World Cup towels require one hour for cutting the towel fabric, two hours for dyeing and screen printing, eighty minutes for border stitching and monogramming, and fifteen minutes for folding, packing and sealing.

To complete 100 ICC World Cup towels in a day :

Cutters, who cut the towel fabric, will need 100*1 = 100 man hours in the day 

Printers, who dye and screen print on the towels, will need 100*2 = 200 man hours in the day

Stitchers, who stitch and monogram on the towels, will need 100*(80/60) = 133.33 man hours in the day

Packers, who fold, pack and seal the towels, will need 100*(15/60) = 25 man hours in the day

But,

There are twenty cutters with Christy’s, who will put in a total of 10*20 = 200 man hours of work per day

There are fifty printers with Christy’s, who will put in a total of 10*50 = 500 man hours of work per day

There are twenty stitchers with Christy’s, who will put in a total of 10*20 = 200 man hours of work per day

There are five packers with Christy’s, who will put in a total of 10*5 = 50 man hours of work per day

Thus, after completing 100 ICC World Cup towels in a day,

Man hours of cutters left in the day = 200 – 100 = 100 

Man hours of printers left in the day = 500 – 200 = 300

Man hours of stitchers left in the day = 200 – 133.33 = 66.67

Man hours of packers left in the day = 50 – 25 = 25

Each of the Wimbledon towels require forty minutes for cutting the towel fabric, two hours for dyeing and screen printing, forty minutes for border stitching and monogramming, and ten minutes for folding, packing and sealing.

Thus, after completing 100 ICC World Cup towels in a day,

Number of Wimbledon towels for which the towel fabric can be cut = 100/(40/60) = 150

Number of Wimbledon towels for which the dyeing and screen printing on the towel can be done = 300/2 = 150

Number of Wimbledon towels for which the stitching and monogramming on the towel can be done = 66.67/(40/60) = 100

Number of Wimbledon towels for which the folding, packing and sealing of the towel can be done = 25/(10/60) = 150

Hence, the number of Wimbledon towels can be completed on that day that Christy’s decided to complete a hundred ICC World Cup towels = 100
