[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let x be the amount of money in the piggy bank before buying the toy.

The equation that represents this situation is:
x - 13.32 = 25.70

To determine the amount of money in the piggy bank, we need to solve for x.

Adding 13.32 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x = 25.70 + 13.32

x = 39.02

Therefore, there was $39.02 in the piggy bank before buying the toy.
