Answer 1

To determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, we can set up the following equation based on the information given:

1. You started with \( p \) dollars.
2. You spent $13.32 on a toy.
3. After buying the toy, you had $25.70 left.

The equation that represents this situation is: \[ p - 13.32 = 25.70 \]

Now we can solve for \( p \):

1. Add $13.32 to both sides of the equation: \[ p = 25.70 + 13.32 \]

2. Calculate the right side: \[ p = 39.02 \]

So, the correct response is: p − 13.32 = 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
