company earned     2400 
cost of tools         -  525
-----------------------subtract
money for profits   1875

but don't forget you are splitting it equally with your 4 friends...so that is a total of 5 people. So in order to find out how much each person gets paid, you would have to divide the money for profits by 5, giving you 1875/5 which equals 375.

So you (yourself) made 375 profit...and each one of your friends made 375 profit a piece as well.
