You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+%28+8+%2B+x+%29+%2F+%28+15+%2B+x+%29++=+.65+
+8+%2B+x+=+.65%2A%28+15+%2B+x+%29+
+8+%2B+x+=+9.75+%2B+.65x+
+.35x+=+1.75+
+x+=+5+
She has to win 5 more consecutive tournaments
----------------
check:
+%28+8+%2B+x+%29+%2F+%28+15+%2B+x+%29++=+.65+
+%28+8+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+15+%2B+5+%29++=+.65+
+13%2F20+=+.65+
+%28+5%2F5+%29%2A%28+13%2F20+%29+=+65%2F100+
+.65+=+.65+
OK
