assistant
How many ways does John split the cost? ** He splits the cost 3+1=<<3+1=4>>4 ways
How much do the burgers cost? ** 100 pounds of burgers at $3 per pound makes 100*3=$<<100*3=300>>300
How much did the burgers cost in total? ** In addition to $80 for condiments and propane the total cost was 300+80=$<<300+80=380>>380
How much did each of them pay? ** That means each of them paid 380/4=$<<380/4=95>>95
How much did John spend altogether? ** Then adding in the cost of alcohol, John spent 200+95=$<<200+95=295>>295
