To find out how much money is used for purchasing equipment, we first calculate 45% of the total budget of $850.
\[
\text{Amount spent on equipment} = 0.45 \times 850
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
0.45 \times 850 = 382.5
\]
So, the amount spent on equipment is $382.50.
Next, we subtract this amount from the total budget to find out how much money remains for other expenses:
\[
\text{Money for other expenses} = \text{Total budget} - \text{Amount spent on equipment}
\]
\[
\text{Money for other expenses} = 850 - 382.5 = 467.5
\]
Thus, the amount of money that remains for other expenses is **$467.50**.
