what you mean by that

ash2326 · Answer

let's assume that the average no. of homes having computer is the same as  that found from the survey
let's calculate the percentage of homes having computer (which took part in the survey)
144/360*100=40%
now we assume this is also the average for all the homes 
so homes having computer in whole town=18000*40%=7200

$\frac{144}{360}\times 18,000=7200\text{ homes }$.
