The best way to even begin solving this problem, is to organize:
N-Nickels
P-Pennies
D-Dimes
N=0.05
P=0.01
D=0.10
Total= $5.06
We begin to write the equation as :
0.01p+0.05(5p)+0.10(2p)=$5.06
p represents pennies so the 5p represents the fact that nickels equals 5 times the amount of pennies and the 2p represents the fact that dimes equals 2 times the amount of pennies.
Multiply to get rid of the parenthesis.
0.01p+0.25p+0.20p=$5.06
Add up all the numbers on the left side of the equal sign: 
0.46p=$5.06
Divide both side by 0.46 to isolate p.
p=11.
Therefore there are 11 pennies.
Nickels is 5 times the amount of pennies so:
5*11=55 nickels.
Dimes is 2 times the amount of pennies so:
2*11=22 dimes.
55 nickels is equal to $2.75
22 dimes is equal to $2.20
11 pennies is equal to $0.11
Add them all up and you get $5.06.

Hope this helps! (:

10*x=dimes
506=46x
506/46=x
X=11

Yes for the first one, yes for the second one, and yes for the third one although your subtraction equation had the wrong year (its not 1847 its 1846) but the answer was right, 65.
