p − 13.32 = 25.70; ; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.***********
p minus 13.32 equals 25.70 ; ; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
p + 13.32 = 25.70; 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 minus 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.
The Bots are not lying we are just not seeing the $39.02. If you read your answers fully you will see it I thought they were wrong too. This was taking up so much time but then I finally saw the $39.02 okay hope this helped.
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 solve for p, you can add 13.32 to both sides of the equation:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
