Answer:

The total budget is $1260

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Props = \$693[/tex]

[tex]Costumes = 45\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the total budget

Since all budgets was spent on Props and Costumes only.

We have that.

[tex]\%Props + \%Costumes = 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Props + 45\%= 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Props= 100\% -45\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Props= 55\%[/tex]

In other words, 55% was spent on Props

Let the total budget be x, we have:

[tex]55\% * x = \$693[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \$693/55\%[/tex]

[tex]x = \$1260[/tex]

Hence, the total budget is $1260
