To find the total budget for the student film, we can set up the equation based on the information given. The amount spent on costumes ($481) is 37% of the total budget. We can let the total budget be represented by \( B \).
The equation then becomes:
\[
0.37B = 481
\]
To find \( B \), we need to divide both sides by 0.37:
\[
B = \frac{481}{0.37}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
B \approx 1304.05
\]
Therefore, the total budget for their student film is approximately **$1304.05**. If we round to the nearest cent, the total budget is **$1304.05**.
