B) Translate the following verbal expressions into variable expressions by assigning the variable.
Refer to Exercise 4.3 of your textbook on pages 271 - 272. Answer the even-numbered questions 42 to 62,
except 46. Write your answers in the space provided. (15 marks total @1.5 marks each)

Your answers will require a “Let statement” (Let ___ = ________) and a corresponding variable expression.
Example: the product of 12 and the total of a number and 5
Let statement: Let n = the number Variable expression: 12(n + 5)
Let _ = ________________ Variable expression
42. Let n = the unknown number (n + 12) /15

44.
