Answer:

Nickles  = $1.58

Dimes = $3.17

Explanation:

Suppose

Value of nickles = X

Value of Dimes = 2X (Twice as nickle)

Total Value in the bank = $4.75

According to given condition

Value of Nickle + Value of Dimes = Total in the Bank

X + 2X = $4.75

3X = $4.75

X = $4.75 / 3

X = 1.58

Nickles  = $1.58

Dimes = (4.75 / 3) x 2 = $3.17

Check

1.58 + $3.17 = $4.75

$4.75 = $ 4.75
