-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The number of dimes is twice the sum of the number of quarters and 1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

d=2%28q%2B1%29


---------------------------------------------
the total value of the change is $2.00,...
---------------------------------------------

10%2A2%28q%2B1%29%2B25q=200
2%2A2%28q%2B1%29%2B5q=40
4q%2B4%2B5q=40
9q=36
q=4------four quarters
highlight%28d=10%29-----ten dimes
