Step 1. Since Lana Pays the rent monthly, and the lease is for a 3 year period, the first step will be to calculate the number of months that are in 3 years.
Since there are 12 months in just 1 year, we multiply 12 by 3 to get the number of moths in 3 years:
There are 36 months in 3 years.
Step 2. Multiply the number of months by the monthly payment of the rent.

And the result is:
$14,220 is the total amount she will pay for rent during the term of her lease.
