The number of consecutive free throws she must make in order to increase her percentage to 68% depends on her original number of shots made. Assuming she has already made 100 shots, the number of consecutive free throws she must make in order to increase her percentage to 68% is 9.375 ((65+x)/(100+x) = 68%). Formula: ((percentage*original number)+x)/(original number+x = new percentage
