Divide.
Okay. I have tried dividing but was unsure of my result. I have now found my error and will redo my division. Then I will let you see my process of what I have done.

But 4 people are sharing the bill.
Thank you so much! That's right-Sam is paying too! I did not even think of that! I will definitly recommend this site to all of my friends, but in the meantime, I'VE got some math work to do :)
You're very welcome. I'm glad that I could help you.
