The correct equation to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy is:

p - 13.32 = 25.70

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

p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02

So, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.

Apologies for the confusion. I made a mistake in my previous response. The correct equation to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy is:

p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02

So, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
