Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

let dimes be x and Nickel be y

Dimes are 12 less than double the number of nickles

therefore,  dimes x = 2y - 12

the sum of nickel and dimes (x + y  = $2.25)

replace x with (2y - 12) to be

(2y - 12) + y = 2.55

3y-12= 2.55

3y = 14.55

y= 14.55/3

y= 4.85
