Answer:
$3000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
suppose Jane's original saving is x
cost of carpet = $250
amount spent on car = 2/3(x)
remaining saving left = x - 2/3(x)
amount spent on new carpet = 1/4 (x - 2/3(x))
Equation
1/4 (x - 2/3(x)) = 250
(x - 2/3(x)) = 250(4)
x - 2/3(x) = 1000
Take lcm
3x - 2x = 1000(3)
x = 3000
Thus, amount of Jane's original saving = x = $3000
