Let's break this down. We're going to add 1388 and 4015 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 5 in column 1 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 1 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 0 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 1388 + 4015 = 5403.
