4.  15

  let total bars given to sister be x
  so 1/2 to mother and 1/2 more to father ie x/2 + 1/2
  so remaining = x- ( x/2  + 1/2 ) =x/2- 1/2 
  then 1/2 of the remaining and 1/2 more to dog
  ie..

         1/2 (x/2 - 1/2 )+ 1/2  =  x/4 - 1/4 + 1/2   = x/4 + 1/4

  so remaining  = x/2 - 1/2 - ( x/4 +  1/4  )

                       = x/2- 1/2 - x/4 - 1/4

                       =x/4 - 3/4

          x/4 - 3/4 =3

1e...    x/4=3+ 3/4

          x= (15/4 ) *4 

            =15
