Why am I getting ?name on this formula =IFS(C3="ISBLANK",0,C3=“YES”,100-D3,C3="PENDING",50-D3,C3="NO",50-D3)

I dont understand why this formula keeps producing the ?name error message

=IFS(C3="ISBLANK",0,C3=“YES”,100-D3,C3="PENDING",50-D3,C3="NO",50-D3)

C3 is a cell that can have either value of BLANK, YES, NO, PENDING

D3 is a cell with any positive numerical value up to 100. 

I want F3 (which is where this formula is located) to say "If C3 is empty, then read 0, if the C3 reads YES then read the Value of 100 - D3, if C3 reads PENDING then read the value of 50 - D3, and if C3 reads NO then read the value of 50 - D3" 

Everything I've read says this is correct. But its not. Please help. Here's what the spread sheet looks like:

RENTAL PROPERTY PAYMENTS REGISTRY
Photographed Property Address Date Final Edits Delivered LEASED (YES/NO/PENDING) Total Payments Made Total Pending Lease Total owed
2/1/2018 PENDING $                                      <br>- $                         <br>50.00 #NAME?
2/1/2018 PENDING $                                      <br>- $                         <br>50.00 $                   <br>50.00

Hi Adam, try this formula:

=IF(ISBLANK(C3), 0,IF(C3="YES", 100-D3, IF(C3="PENDING", 50-D3, IF(C3="NO", 50-D3,""))))
