Final answer:

Given the cost of $21 for 84 rings at a carnival game, we calculated the cost per ring to be $0.25. We then created a table of equivalent ratios based on this rate and discussed plotting these points on a coordinate graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we will calculate the cost per ring and then use this to create a table of equivalent ratios. We can then plot these ratios as points on a coordinate plane. Given that Colton spent $21 for 84 rings, we can calculate the cost per ring:
$21 / 84 = $0.25 per ring. Now, using this rate, we can fill in a table with equivalent ratios:

1 ring costs $0.25

2 rings cost $0.50

3 rings cost $0.75

... and so on, up to:

84 rings cost $21.00

Each of these pairs (number of rings, total cost) can then be plotted on a coordinate plane, where the number of rings is on the horizontal axis (X-axis) and the total cost is on the vertical axis (Y-axis). For example, one of the points would be (1, 0.25), another would be (2, 0.50), continuing in this manner until (84, 21.00).
