In a paper factory 150 samples of sheets of paper were taken from a machine and checked for quality. Of these 150 samples, it was found that 3 sheets of paper were defective. If 500 bundles (10,000 sheets of paper per bundle) were produced by this machine, what is the approximate number of sheets of paper defective?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 150,000 B) 10,000 C) 1,250 D) 1,500 E) 100,000
Let D = sheets of paper made by the machine = 5,000,000,   B = sample number of sheets of paper = 150,   A = defective sample sheets of paper = 3, and   C = defective sheets of paper from machine, then:   Proportion: A/B = C/D   Proportion: 3/150 = C/5,000,000   C = 100,000. There are approximately 100,000 healthy fish in the pond.   Answer is 100,000
