Let s denote the quantity of sports drinks purchased by April

Let p symbolize the amount of pizza slices bought by April

Since she spent a total of $21.25, the equation can be stated as:

$s+p=21.25$

$p+3+p=21.25$

$2p=18.25$

$p=9.125$

As she ordered 3 more sports drinks than pizza slices, we have s = p + 3
