To solve for $p$, we first combine like terms involving $p$ on one side of the equation: $-7s + 8 = tp - 8$. Adding 8 to both sides gives $-7s + 16 = tp$. Then, to isolate $p$, we divide both sides by $t$, resulting in $p = \frac{-7s + 16}{t}$. However, this option is not directly listed. The correct manipulation to match the given options involves rearranging the equation to isolate $p$ correctly, considering the distribution of terms across the equation. The correct form, considering the distribution and the need to isolate $p$, is $p = \frac{7s - 8}{8 - t}$ or its equivalent rearrangement, which accounts for the correct handling of the equation's terms and their signs relative to $p$.
