Hello and welcome to MHB! (Wave)

I would begin by letting (where all prices are in dollars):

$$A$$ = the price of the shirt

$$B$$ = the price of the shoes

Now, we are given:

$$A=19$$

And we are told the price of the shoes is 28 more than that of the shirt...so we may write:

$$B=A+28=\,?$$

the sum of Aand B is 47 ,is this ans, how much money did he spend for shirt and shoes, if $13 left over how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt nd shoes

Yes,

$$B=A+28=19+28=47$$

For part b), let $T$ be the total amount Brad spent, which is the sum of the amounts spent on shirt and shoes:

$$T=A+B=19+47=\,?$$

Writing abstract equations in "A" and "B" is probably a bit much for "2nd grade"!

"Chad bought a shirt for \$19 and a pair of shoes for \$28 more than shirt"

"a. How much was the pair of shoes?"
\$28 more than \$19 is 19+ 28= \$47.

"B. How much money did chad spend on the shirt and shoes?"
Add the two separate costs- 19+ 47= \$66.

"c. if chad had 13 dollars left over, how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt and shoes?"
If he spent \$66 and had \$13 still, then he must have had 66+ 13= \$79.
