The student council has decided to have a raffle at the carnival. they came up with a table to show the relationship between the number of tickets bought and the number of raffle entries. explain why it could be for the student council to determine an equation to represent this data.

Looking at a table only gives you a small number of data points, whereas an equation can be used to find any data point.

i will with my problems and all the other things that need to   be on by the way

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
