Lonnie threw 50 free throws and missed 16 of them. If Lonnie throws 75 free throws, what can be predicted about the number she will make successfully?

Lonnie made 50 − 16 = 34 free throws, so her success rate was 34/50 = 68%. At that same rate, she would make about 0.68 × 75 = 51 free throws. Therefore, the best prediction is 51 free throws.
