To find out how much money the group spent on equipment, we first need to determine how much they spent on props.
1. **Calculate the amount spent on props:**
\[
\text{Amount spent on props} = 1300 \, \text{USD} \times 0.55 = 715 \, \text{USD}
\]
2. **Calculate the amount spent on equipment:**
\[
\text{Amount spent on equipment} = \text{Total budget} - \text{Amount spent on props}
\]
\[
\text{Amount spent on equipment} = 1300 \, \text{USD} - 715 \, \text{USD} = 585 \, \text{USD}
\]
Therefore, the group spent **585 USD** on equipment.
