Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the percentage of successful baskets, so it is calculated as:

$(68)/(340)*100\text{ \% = 20 \%}$

Now, 20% of the baskets are successful, so if 17 represent 20%, the 100% is represented by:

$100\text{ \%}*\frac{17}{20\text{ \%}}=85$

So, he has to do 85 attempts.
