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)

Answer 1

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 solve for p, add 13.32 to both sides of the equation:

p = 25.70 + 13.32

p = 39.02

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