Spanish term or phrase: ajusta las ventas... en un 86,55%
Se trata de las ventas de bebidas de una compañia. Nos encontramos en un contexto donde se elaboran modelos econométricos capaces de ajustarse, o explicar lo más aproximadamente posible, las ventas que realmente se produjeron, o de predecir las que van a producirse. En este contexto:

"Para el periodo enero 2008 a abril de 2011, se encuentra un modelo que ajusta las ventas de XXXX en un 86,55%." (XXXX nombre de la compañía).

Provisionalmente interpreto:

"For the period from January 2008 to April 2011, a model is found which fits the sales of XXXX to 86.55%."

agree  neilmac: This is the correct translation of the original ("ajustar", not "ajustarse a"). IMO there is a difference (transitive/intransitive).

  -> Thanks NM.

neutral  DLyons: That's grammatically correct, but seems improbable for a usable model.

  -> Depends entirely on the model on which we have no further details.

agree  Claudia Reynaud: That's what it says.

Explanation:
does your text mean that the model calculates the actual sales at 86.5% of the reported sales?

or does it mean that the model "predicts" the sales for that period, using sales figures previous to that time, with an accuracy of 86.5%?
