Correct Answer: 120

Triangles $$ABE$$ and $$DBC$$ are congruent because $$AB=BD$$, $$BE=BC$$ and both included angles at $$B$$ are $$120^\circ$$. Let $$\angle AEB=\angle DCB=x$$. Then in triangle $$FEC$$, $$\angle FEC=60^\circ+x$$ and $$\angle FCE=60^\circ-x$$, so the exterior angle $$\angle AFC$$ equals their sum, which is $$120^\circ$$.
