The correct equation to determine the amount of money in the piggy bank before buying the toy is:
p - 13.32 = 25.70
To solve for p, we add 13.32 to both sides of the equation:
p - 13.32 + 13.32 = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
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?
