The final price of the shirt is given by the regular price minus the discount value. Since the final price is $28, the regular price is p, and the discount is $16, the equation is


p-16=28

If we add 16 to both sides of the equation, we have


\begin{gathered} p-16+16=28+16 \\ p=28+16 \end{gathered}

If we invert the order of the equality, we get the last option as the answer


16+28=p
