To represent the total amount earned by the nail salon based on the number of manicures and pedicures sold, you can use the following equation:
\[ E = M \cdot m + P \cdot p \]
Where:
- \( E \) is the total amount earned.
- \( M \) is the number of manicures sold.
- \( P \) is the number of pedicures sold.
- \( m \) is the price of one manicure (after applying the discount).
- \( p \) is the price of one pedicure (after applying the discount).
This equation accounts for the number of each type of service performed multiplied by their respective prices (after any discounts), giving the total earnings for the weekend.
\[ E = M \cdot m + P \cdot p \]
Where:
- \( E \) is the total amount earned.
- \( M \) is the number of manicures sold.
- \( P \) is the number of pedicures sold.
- \( m \) is the price of one manicure (after applying the discount).
- \( p \) is the price of one pedicure (after applying the discount).
