ok in the rulebook it says to roll 2d10 add those together and then add 25 to the sum... i got that but when youre adding the 2d10 together does one d10 count as 0-90 and the other count as 0-9, or do they both count as 0-9 so that the max score you can get before adding the 25 is 20? this is for basic stats bu the way...
rolling up an Explorer...
They both count as 1 - 10 (0 on the die) giving a range of 2 - 20 for the 2 dice combined
Only when rolling "percentile dice" or a "d100" or a "d%" do you designate one die as the "first half" (from 0 till 100) & one as the "units" (the "second half" - from 0 to 9). This notation, I believe, is explained at the beginning of the book, somewhere.
All other dice (XdX - 1d4, 5d6, 3d12, 4d20, etc.) are added when rolled.

Who?
2d10 is roll 2 dice with 1-10 as the range for each dice, and add the result. Thus 2-20 is possible. If you have a pair of percentice dice with one being 00-90, and the other being 0-9. Drop the zero from the 1st dice, and any result of 0 is a 10.
Skill, and charactistic rolls are 1d100. Select one of your dice as the tens dice or use the 00-90 as the tens dice. (Must be selected before the roll.) 00 is 100.
You can also spread out 100 points as you please, with no characteristic getting more than 20, so you can start with a 45 to two...
"Only when rolling "percentile dice" or a "d100" or a "d%" do you designate one die as the "first half" (from 0 till 100)"
My mistake: this should be "(from 10-90)"

No, from 01-100...
In Re the OP...
Since most people don't own a real 100-sided die (I do, they are worthless...), we simulate them by using 2 10-sided dice, read as (D10†)x10+d10†... reading the 10 or 0 side as 0, except when 0,0 is rolled, reading a result of 00 as 100. Otherwise, a d10 is rolled and the 10 or 0 side is read as 10. (I've some marked 1-10, and other marked 0-9. I've seen a couple games that did read the 0 as 0, not as 10, but they are rare.
The 100 point anywhere you like them is actually the tiniest better than a dice roll array anyway.
On an average 2d10 roll= one 5 and one 6. Added together the average 2d10 roll is 11
9 characteristics= 11*9= 99
You start one high point higher than the average roll with 100 point distribution, and you can put stats where you want them.
