Some number $n = 12 \times p$ $n = 12 xx p$ where $p$ $p$ equals the number of people.

Explanation:

some number is the translation of an unknown quantity into a variable. times is translated into multiply $\times$ $xx$

people is a variable as the number of people is not given. Any letter would do. $p$ $p$ is the first letter of people so it makes for an appropriate letter for the variable.
