We can write an equation based on the given information. Let S = snow white. The 7 dwarfs + snow white = 8 people.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%287%2A20%29+%2B+S%29%2F8+%2B+3.50+=+S\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply all by 8 to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"140+%2B+S+%2B+28+=+8S\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract S and combine like terms to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"168+=+7S\"
\n" ); document.write( "diving, we get
\n" ); document.write( " S = $24
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
