462.30m=t
(t represents total)
you could use any variable to represent the total amount. since they are asking for any number of months allowing m to represent the unknown number of months is imperative!

Answer:

3m • 462.30 = 1,386.90

Explanation:

Let's use the example of 3 months. So, working one month Samantha earns $462.30. Let's say she works part-time for 3 months.

Multiply. 462.30 • 3 = $1,386.9

That means working 3 months, Samantha earns $1,386.90.

Then, just write it in standard form.

3m • 462.30 = 1,386.90
