By solving the equation we know that 15 players can be brought to the tournament.

Algebraically speaking, an equation is a statement that shows the equality of two mathematical expressions.

For instance, the two equations 3x + 5 and 14, which are separated by the 'equal' sign, make up the equation 3x + 5 = 14.

So, we know that:

Softball players raised $1186.50 to attend a tournament.

They allocated $21.50 for meals per player and paid $842.50 for the bus rental.

We must apply the following calculation to determine the total number of players they are permitted to bring:

Formula: Total amount of money= fixed cost + unitary variable cost × number of players

1186.50 = 842.50 + 21.50 × number of players

1186.50 - 842.50 = 21.50 × number of players

344/21.50 = number of players

15 = Number of players

Therefore, by solving the equation we know that 15 players can be brought to the tournament.
