You can put this solution on YOUR website! She has 288 cents
So she needs to make three groups each containing 96 cents.
There are many ways to do that.
For example,
the first two groups can be 3 quarters, 2 dimes and a penny
The last group has all the rest.
Or
the first group has 3 quarters, 2 dimes and a penny
the second group has 3 quarters, 4 nickles and a penny
the third group has all the rest.

I don't understand "three groups of each value" Do you mean three groups of equal value?
If so, add up the total value of all the coins, then divide by 3.
