To determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, we can set up the equation based on the information provided. You had $ p $ dollars, spent $13.32, and were left with $25.70.

The appropriate equation to represent this situation is:

\[ p - 13.32 = 25.70 \]

To find $ p $, we can solve this equation:

Add $13.32 to both sides: \[ p = 25.70 + 13.32 \]
Calculate the right side: \[ p = 39.02 \]

So, the correct response is:

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