She has twenty-five more dimes than she has quarters. In total she has $10.00 in coins. How many of each coin does Kellie have?
Here is what I have come down with so far:

q = 2n                  <<<---=== Correct
d = q + 25              <<<---=== Correct
n + c + q = 10.00       <<<---=== Incorrect.  It should be  5n + 10d + 25q = 1000  <<<---=== YOU COUNT CENTS ! ! !

Are any of these equations near correct?
