Take the total dollar value of the preferred and add any additional paid-in capital for it, if it exists. Then divide by issued shares. If there's not additional paid-in capital, it would just be par or stated value, in which case I wouldn't think they'd be asking.

If by "dividend declared one each share" you mean "dividends per share," then it's just the total dividends divided by common shares outstanding. However, the problem should call it "dividends per share." So either you're paraphrasing it (don't) or they are wanting you to actually calculate the amount of dividends being declared, and that would depend entirely on what information you have and what the problem is wanting you to do, so no way to answer that.
