To find the original price \( p \) of the shirt, we know that the current sale price is half of the original price. This can be expressed with the equation:

\[
\frac{p}{2} = 7.98
\]

To solve for \( p \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

\[
p = 7.98 \times 2
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
p = 15.96
\]

Therefore, the original price of the shirt is:

\[
\text{p = } 15.96 \text{ dollars}
\]

To complete the working equation that represents the original price \( p \) of the shirt, we can frame it as follows:

\[
p = 2 \times 7.98
\]

So, the completed equation is:

\[
p = 2 \times 7.98
\]

Now calculating:

\[
p = 15.96
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
p = 15.96 \text{ dollars}
\]
