Budget of a film = 1200

Money they spend on equipment :-

= 62% of total expense

= 62% of 1200


= (62)/(100) * 1200


= (62 * 1200)/(100)


= (74400)/(100)


\color{purple}= 744

Which means , the group of friends spent 744 on equipment .

Then , money they spent on costume :-

= 100 - 62 % of 1200

= 38% of 1200


= (38)/(100) * 1200


= (38 * 1200)/(100)


= (45600)/(100)


\color{orange} = 456

Which means the group of friends spent 456 on costumes .

Therefore , the group of friends spent 456 on costumes .
