1. **State the problem:** We are given a table showing the number of tickets purchased and the corresponding number of entries in a raffle drawing. We need to find the rule that relates the number of tickets purchased to the number of entries. 2. **Analyze the table:** - Tickets purchased: 1, 2, 3, 4 - Entries: 3, 4, 5, 6 3. **Look for a pattern:** Compare entries to tickets purchased: - For 1 ticket, entries = 3 - For 2 tickets, entries = 4 - For 3 tickets, entries = 5 - For 4 tickets, entries = 6 4. **Find the relationship:** Notice that entries are always 2 more than tickets purchased: $$\text{entries} = \text{tickets} + 2$$ 5. **Check other options:** - "The number of tickets purchased is 2 more than the number of entries" would mean tickets = entries + 2, which is false. - "The number of entries is double the tickets" would mean entries = 2 \times tickets, which is false. - "The number of tickets is one-third the number of entries" would mean tickets = \frac{1}{3} \times entries, which is false. 6. **Conclusion:** The correct rule is: **The number of entries in the raffle drawing is 2 more than the number of tickets purchased.**
