You do all of these the same way.
You combine the relationships that describe the number of objects with the relationships that describe the value of the objects.
nickels: 
dimes: 
quarters: 
Twice as many dimes as nickels: 
(so, for example if you had 5 nickels, you would have twice as many, or 10 dimes) and three more than that is: 
. Then for the quarters you have 
Messing about with decimal fraction coefficients is rather untidy, so I always like to change the amount of money from dollars and cents to just cents. You have $14.55, so I just make that 1455 cents.
Now we know that nickels are worth 5 cents, so nickels are worth 
cents. Likewise dimes are worth 
cents. But since we know that 
, we can say the dimes in this collection are worth )
cents. Using the same sort of logic, our quarters are worth )
cents.
Adding it all up:
\ +\ 25(3n\ -\ 3)\ =\ 1455)
All you have to do is solve for
The other two problems are done the same way.
