The president has contributed 104 marbles more than the vice-president, who in turn has contributed 203 more than the treasurer. The secretary donated 1/2 the amount of the vice-president. The marble counter contributed 3 more than the sergeant at arms, and they have contributed 485 marbles together. If the total number of marbles is 3,886, how many did each contribute?
