A worker at a local aquarium is instructed to estimate the population of sardines in the tank. She catches 920 sardines, marks them with special paint, and returns them to the tank. Then she catches 870 sardines and finds that 87 of them are marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the sardine population?
