    This is a simple proportion

    1100 : 13 = 41000 : x

    For every 1100 discs, 13 are defective, meaning that there will be an X number for each 41000

    13 * 41000 = 1100 * x

    13 * 410 = 11 * x

    5330 = 11 * x

    x = 5330/11

    x = 484.5

    That means that for every 41000, approximately 485 discs will break down.
