Answer:

The total budget is $1300

Steps:

costumes = $481

costumes = 37% of total budget

Let the total budget be x, we have:

37% * x = 481

x = 481/37%

remember that to convert a percent to decimals just drop the percent sign and move the decimal two places over. In this case it would be .37

x = [tex]\frac{481}{.37}[/tex]

x = $1300
