1 answer

The equation that should be used to determine the amount of money in the piggy bank before buying the toy is p - 13.32 = 25.70.

To find out how much money was in the piggy bank, we can solve for p:

p - $13.32 = $25.70
p = $25.70 + $13.32
p = $39.02

Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
