Sam is planning to start a pool cleaning company from his home. He has decided on a radius of 30 miles from his home as a region of operation. After surveying the region of operation, he found that 43% of the homes in the region have a swimming pool. If there are 36,248 homes within a 30 mile radius of Sam’s home, approximately how many potential customers does Sam have?
