To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. Let's say that [tex]x[/tex] is her savings.
2. The problem says that she plans to use $260 less than 3/4 of her savings and the purchase price of the car is $9,349. Then, you can write the following expression:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}x-260=9,340[/tex]
3. Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}x=9,340+260\\\frac{3}{4}x=9,600\\x=\frac{(9600)4}{3}\\x=12,800[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is: $12,800
