You have the correct answer.

Check:

10 dimes + 1 quarter = 11 coins ... works

-------------------------------------------------------


10 dimes = $1.00 (10*$0.10 = $1.00)

1 quarter = $0.25 (1*$0.25 = $0.25)

10 dimes + 1 quarter = $1.00 + $0.25 = $1.25 ... works

-------------------------------------------------------

The answer is confirmed.
