We have $2.30 , 1/4 of them are quarters, 1/2 them are dimes, 1/4 are pennies.
How many quarters, dimes, pennies are there?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If x is the number of pennies, the the number of dimes is 2x and the number of quarters is x, the same as the number of pennies.


Then your "money" equation is


    x + 10*(2x) + 25*x = 230 cents


    46x = 230


    x = 230/46 = 5.


ANSWER.  5 pennies, 10 dimes and 5 quarters.

Solved.
