you can either give me the steps to lead to the answer or the answer

The setup is simple. You have an equal number of nickels, dimes, and quarters. We'll call that number $x$. So you have:

$$5x + 10x + 25x = 440$$
I'm putting the answer in cents so it's easier. The 5 is for the nickels, 10 for dimes, 25 for quarters. Then you can solve for x :)
