this problem basically says 15g of C4H10 has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

that doesn't make any sense relating to basic chemistry. look

58g C4H10 = 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

How can there be 4(6.02 x 10^23 atoms) Carbon atoms in 1 mole of butane if 1 mole of anything contains 6.02x10^23 atoms??

Listen dude, this is basic gen chem. Yes 1 mol has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, but if you have 58 grams lets convert to moles. Now once we have moles convert to molecules. Once we have molecules now we want number of a specific atom. This is called dimensional analysis.
