Using proportions, it is found that Mrs. Wood should expect 1,898 books out of the 36,500 to have major damage.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

For this problem, the proportion of books with major damage is:

43/(716 + 68 + 43) = 0.051995.

Hence, out of 36,500 books, the expected amount of books with major damage is:

0.051995 x 36,500 = 1898.
