Answer:

51

Explanation:

we know that

Lonnie threw 50 free throws and missed 16 of them

That means

Lonnie threw 50 free throws and was successful in 50-16=34

so

using proportion

$(50)/(34)=(75)/(x)\\\\x=34(75)/50\\\\x= 51$

therefore

If Lonnie shoots 75 free throws, she' ll successfully make 51 of them.
