Tomas found a bag of 100 AA batteries in a box in his garage. He placed one battery at a time into a flashlight that required one AA battery. After trying 20 batteries, Tomas found that only 3 of the batteries were good. Based on Tomas' attempts so far, how many of the batteries in the bag could he expect to be good?
