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.
