Each problem requires calculating the number of specific types of coins based on a given total value and a ratio comparing quantities of two different coin types. Students need to apply basic algebraic thinking to ascertain the correct number of each coin type, such as how many nickels, dimes, quarters, or pennies are there when one type of coin is a multiple of another.
