The proportion of remaining weeks that he has to obtain a new order to break the record is: 0.7 = 70%.
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
He needs a new order every other week, that is, 0.5 orders per week, hence over one year = 52 weeks, the number of orders is:
O = 0.5 x 52 = 26 orders.
Over the first 32 weeks, the expected number was:
E = 0.5 x 32 = 16.
He was four orders behind schedule, that is, he had 12 orders, hence he needed 26 - 12 = 14 orders in the remaining 52 - 32 = 20 weeks, hence the proportion is:
p = 14/20 = 0.7.
