Answer:

She had 4 pennies 4 dimes 1 quarter and one 50 cent.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Sarah had $1.19 in coins. Jeff asked her for change for a dollar, but she did not have the correct change.

We need to find What coins did she have?

She don;t have exact change of $1 that means she don't have two 50 cents, or one 50 cent and 2 quarters or 4 quarters.

So the possible order for sum up of $1.19 is:

$0.01+$0.01+$0.01+$0.01+$0.1+$0.1+$0.1+$0.1+$0.25+$0.5 = $1.19

That means she had 4 pennies 4 dimes 1 quarter and one 50 cent.
