If the total contribution was three times as much as Harry contributed, and Harry contributed $30, the total contribution was 3*$30=$<<3*30=90>>90

Since Harry contributed $30, his three friends together contributed $90-$30=$60

Since the three friends were contributing an equal amount, each friend contributed $60/3=$<<60/3=20>>20.
