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
To find out how much money was in the piggy bank, we need to solve for p in this equation.
Adding 13.32 to both sides, the equation becomes:
p = 25.70 + 13.32
Simplifying further:
p = 39.02
Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
