Answer: There are 54,550 more small paper clips than large paper clips in one day.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of small paper clips in one day = 138,800

Number of large paper clips in one day = 84,250

We need to find the number of more small paper clips than large paper clips are made by two machines in one day.

Number of small paper clips - Number of large paper clips


138800-84250\\\\=54,550

Hence, there are 54,550 more small paper clips than large paper clips in one day.
