#A=P-D# // Amount=Price of Clothing- Coupon Value

Explanation:

Going to make amount due=#A#, price of sweatshirt=#P,# and coupon value=#D# as you stated. You could change the letters, but this makes the most sense.

The amount due is:

Amount= Price of clothing-coupon value

This can be written as:

#A=P-D#

This is the equation in terms of algebra

Actually working out the equation:

By substituting values, the amount is unknown, so we keep it at a, the price is #$40#, and the coupon value is #$32#. So....

#A=$40-$32=$8#

#A=$8#
