Given the statement:

75% of the budget is $1200.

Determine the full budget.

Solution:

In order to determine the full budget, we simply need to divide the decimal value of the percentage to 1200.  In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

= 75/100

= 0.75

= $1200/0.75

= $1600

Final answer:

The full budget is $1600.
