Is there a place on here that can help me get started on a Function Operations Application/Word Problem? I am looking for help in figuring out how to do the problems using the methods we are learning (not just the way I "see" it in my head)...

We are learning Function Operations – specifically Add/subtract/multiply/divide functions. We have to complete input/output tables, graph and explain what the slope means. I have a good grasp on the graphing and slope stuff but am having a hard time taking the word problem and putting it into the table. I am not on here to get the homework done for me, I just am looking for assistance in clarifying HOW to answer the problems. Does that make and sense?

Kids have a lemonade stand. Here are the basics:
1) Rented a corner of park for $10
2) Each cup lemonade costs them $0.50
3) Sell each cup for $1.00

1st Input/output scale
# of glasses sold (x) – 0, 8, 16, 20
Revenue (the amount of money kids take in – not the same as profit) is r(x)
A linear revenue function : r(x) =…

How do I know how to fill out the table and then translate that to the linear function?
