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)
O p + 25.70 =
13.32; there was -$12.38 in the piggy bank.
O p + 13.32 = 25.70; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
O p - 25.70 - 13.32, there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
O p - 13.32 - 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
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 the amount of money in the piggy bank, we need to isolate p. Adding 13.32 to both sides of the equation gives us:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
The equation that should be used to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy is p - 13.32 = 25.70. Therefore, the correct answer is "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 need to subtract the amount you spent from the amount you have left.
Let's call the amount of money you had in your piggy bank "p" dollars.
To find the equation that represents the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, we need to set up an equation using the information given in the problem.
We know that you spent $13.32 to buy the toy, which means the remaining amount is $25.70.
So, the equation will be:
p - 13.32 = 25.70
Therefore, the correct equation is:
Op - 13.32 = 25.70
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of "p" and determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy.
