; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p plus 13.32 equals 25.70 ; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p + 25.70 = 13.32
; there was –$12.38 in the piggy bank.
p plus 25.70 equals 13.32 ; there was –$12.38 in the piggy bank.
p − 25.70 = 13.32
; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p minus 25.70 equals 13.32 ; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p − 13.32 = 25.70
; ; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.

To determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, you can set up the equation based on the information provided:
You started with \( p \) dollars. After spending $13.32, you were left with $25.70. This can be expressed in the equation:
\[ p - 13.32 = 25.70 \]
Now, to solve for \( p \), you can rearrange the equation:
\[ p = 25.70 + 13.32 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ p = 39.02 \]
So, the correct response is:
p − 13.32 = 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
