Representing data such the one described above as an equation is helpful in other to obtain a mathematical model to make projection about the number of raffle entries possible for any number of ticket purchased.

For instance :

If the number of tickets bought = x

A linear equation model to predict the number of raffle entries, y can be obtained. Hence, we can have a model in the form :

y = bx + c

Where, b = slope or rate of change

c = intercept.
