    20 dimes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can group the coins into groups that are ...

    4 quarters + 2 dimes + 1 nickel

    Then each group satisfies the ratio requirements, and the total value of a group is $1.25.

    Since the total value in the register is $12.50, there must be 10 such groups, hence 20 dimes.
