You've played 75% of the season. So, you've played
75% of the total number of games in the whole season.
You have won 20% of 75% of the total number of games
in the season. That means you've won 15% of the total
number of games in the season.
To achieve that 50% winning season, you will need to win
another 35% of the total number of games in the season.
However, since there's only 25% of the season left, then
there are only 25% of the total number of games in the
season left to play. There aren't enough games left.
You can't achieve a 50% winning season this year.
