Let x be the cost of the friend's lunch.
Then, your lunch is x + 8 

So, x + x + 8 = 27

2x = 19

x = 19/2 = $9.50 for the friend.

That doesn't look right, does it @123caca

directrix · Answer

Your lunch would be$ 17.50

17.50 + 9.50 = 27

So, I think this is correct for the friend. $9.50 for the friend.
