In r/dplyr, how to add new variables by batch according existing variables

There is raw_data, how to add new variables as yellow area in attached image ?

library(tidyverse)
raw_data <- data.frame(
  Category=c("A","B","C","D","E","F","G"),
 Amount=c(19,14,19,11,2,11,13),
 Ad=c(0.73,0.78,0.37,0.32,0.62,0.76,0.25),
 ST=c(0.54,0.74,0.86,0.57,0.98,0.58,0.35),
 WT=c(0.3,0.2,0.94,0.9,0.75,0.39,0.23),
 MM=c(0.79,0.35,0.87,0.76,0.74,0.55,0.72))

Below code can return the calculation result correctly, but the current variable be replaced and the variables name isn’t what I want.
I know that we can add the new variables separately (step by step ),is there any convenient method for this ? Thanks!

raw_data %>% mutate(Amount=as.character(Amount)) %>% 
  mutate(across(where(is.numeric),  ~ . * as.numeric(Amount)))

>Solution :

I guess all you need is the names argument of the across function:

raw_data %>% 
    mutate(Amount=as.character(Amount)) %>% 
    mutate(across(where(is.numeric),  ~ . * as.numeric(Amount), .names = "{col}_AMOUNT"))

  Category Amount   Ad   ST   WT   MM Ad_AMOUNT ST_AMOUNT WT_AMOUNT MM_AMOUNT

3        C     19 0.37 0.86 0.94 0.87      7.03     16.34     17.86     16.53

6        F     11 0.76 0.58 0.39 0.55      8.36      6.38      4.29      6.05
7        G     13 0.25 0.35 0.23 0.72      3.25      4.55      2.99      9.36
