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 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, you need to solve this equation for p:
p - 13.32 = 25.70
Adding 13.32 to both sides of the equation, you get:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
p = 39.02
So, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.
