Question: Wroking with fractions

I need help with a math problem  it is:

Mark works as a quality control expert in a beverage factory. The assembly line that he works on produces 20,000 bottles in 24-hour period. Mark samples about 120 bottles an hour and rejects the line if he finds more than 1/50 of the sample to be defective.

About how many defctive bottles should Mark allow before rejecting the entire beverage line?

I started the problem:

20,000/24hr

120samples/hr=120 samples x 24hr = 2,880 samples/24hrs

if more than 1/50 of the 2,800 samples is defective then the line is shut down.

I am stuck on what to do next.....
