The table shows the number of carnival tickets purchased and the corresponding number of entries in the raffle drawing.

If x is the number of tickets purchased and y is the number of entries in the raffle drawing, then the equation
represents the table.
How many entries would be in the raffle drawing if 20 tickets were purchased?

It looks like your question references a table and an equation, but I can't see that information. However, I can help you understand how to find the relationship between the number of tickets purchased and the number of entries in the raffle drawing.

If you have an equation that describes the relationship between \(x\) (number of tickets purchased) and \(y\) (number of entries in the raffle), you can typically express it in a linear form, such as:

\[ y = mx + b \]

Where:

  • \(m\) is the rate of entries per ticket.
  • \(b\) is a y-intercept that shows how many entries there are when no tickets are purchased.

To determine how many entries would be in the raffle drawing if 20 tickets were purchased, you would substitute \(x = 20\) into the equation.

For example, if the equation were \(y = 2x\), then:

\[ y = 2(20) = 40 \]

If you provide the specific equation or details from the table, I can give you a more precise answer.
