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.
p plus 25.70 equals 13.32 ; there was –$12.38 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.
The correct equation to use in order to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy is:
p − 13.32 = 25.70
This equation shows that you had a certain amount of money (p) and after spending $13.32, you were left with $25.70. To find out how much money was originally in the piggy bank, you would solve for p as follows:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
So, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before you bought the toy. Therefore, the correct response is:
p − 13.32 = 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
