A=PD // 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=PD

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
