-Where $D$ is a drink, $B$ is a burger and $F$ is fries:
+Where $\ttt$ is a {\topname}, $\mmm$ is a {\midname} and $\bbb$ is {\botname}:
 
-$$ D + D + D = 30 $$
+$$ \ttt + \ttt + \ttt = 30 $$
-so $D$ == 10
+so $\ttt$ == 10
-$$ D + B + B = 20 $$
+$$ \ttt + \mmm + \mmm = 20 $$
-so $B$ == 5
+so $\mmm$ == 5
-$$ B + FF + FF = 9 $$
+$$ \mmm + \bbb \bbb + \bbb \bbb = 9 $$
-so $FF + FF = 4$ therefore $FF=2$ so $F=\pm \sqrt{2}$
+so $\bbb \bbb + \bbb \bbb = 4$ therefore $\bbb \bbb=2$ so $\bbb=\pm \sqrt{2}$
 
 Onto the final equation
-$$B + F \times D = \; ? $$
+$$\mmm + \bbb \times \ttt = \; ? $$
-
-As $F$ is  $\pm \sqrt{2}$ 
-
-there are two valid answers
 
+As $\bbb$ is  $\pm \sqrt{2}$  there are actually two valid answers:
 $ 5 + \sqrt{2} \times 10 $ and $ 5 - \sqrt{2} \times 10 $
-
 So the answer is either 19.142 or -9.142.
