Let's set up the equation using the given information.
p - 13.32 = 25.70
To find the amount of money you had in the piggy bank before buying the toy, we can solve for p.
Adding 13.32 to both sides of the equation:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, the correct equation is p - 13.32 = 25.70, and there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
You have p dollars in your piggy bank. You spent $13.32 to buy a toy, leaving you with $25.70. Which equation should be used to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy? How much money was in the piggy bank?(1 point)Responses
p + 25.70 = 13.32; there was –$12.38 in the piggy bank.
p − 25.70 = 13.32; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p − 13.32 = 25.70; ; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
p + 13.32 = 25.70; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
