If a salesman average is a new order every other week, he will break the office record of the year. However, after 28 weeks, he is six orders behind schedule. In what proportion of the remaining weeks does he have to
obtain a new order to break the record?

• Assume there are 52 weeks in one year.
  Since he supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he
  needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the office record.
  
  Now after 28 weeks,he has got only 28/2 -6 = 8 orders.
  
  
  Hence,he needs 26-8 = 18 new orders in the remaining 24= 52-28 weeks to break the office record.
  
  Compute 24 orders/18 weeks = 4/3 orders/week ,
  we see that averagely he has a new order for
  every 4/3 weeks in the remaining weeks to break the office record.
