Okay, we are given 543 and 1028. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 8 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 2 and get 7.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 543 + 1028 = 1571.
