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 − 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.
To determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, we can set up an equation based on the given information:
p - 13.32 = 25.70
This equation represents the total amount of money you had in your piggy bank (p), minus the amount spent on the toy ($13.32), which should be equal to the remaining amount of money ($25.70).
Simplifying the equation further, we have:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, the correct equation to use is:
p - 13.32 = 25.70
And the amount of money in the piggy bank before buying the toy was $39.02.
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 out how much money was in the piggy bank, we can solve this equation:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
