GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, you need to account for the fact that you spent $13.32 and were left with $25.70.

The correct equation for this scenario can be set up as follows:

\[ p - 13.32 = 25.70 \]

This equation means that when you subtract the $13.32 spent on the toy from the total amount of money in your piggy bank (p), you are left with $25.70.

Now, we can solve for $ p $:

\[ p = 25.70 + 13.32 \] \[ p = 39.02 \]

So, you had $39.02 in your piggy bank before buying the toy.

The correct response from the options you provided is:

p − 13.32 = 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
