A group of friends were working on a student film. They spent all their budget on props and costumes. They spent $243 on props, and 55% of the total budget on costumes. What was the total budget for their student film?

The total budget for their student film was $540

Step-by-step explanation:

The total percentage of any quantity is 100%

∵ A group of friends was working on a student film

∵ They spent all their budget on props and costumes

∴ The total budget of the props and costumes = 100%

∵ They spent $243 on props

∵ They spent 55% of the total budget on costumes

→ Find the percentage of the props

∴ The percentage of the props = 100% - 55%

∴ The percentage of the props of the total budget = 45%

→ That means 45% of the total budget = 243

∵ 45% × total budget = 243

→ Change the percent to a number by divide it by 100

∵ 45% = 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45

∴ 0.45 × total budget = 243

→ Divide both sides by 0.45

∴ The total budget = 540

∴ The total budget for their student film was $540
