Let's denote the actual savings of Tiffany as T and the actual savings of Jia Xin as J.

From the problem, we know that:

1) J = T + 0.05T = 1.05T (since Jia Xin's savings were 5% more than Tiffany's)

2) The total savings of Jia Xin and Tiffany increased by 5%, so their actual total savings is 95% of $3280. Therefore, J + T = 0.95 * $3280 = $3116

Now we can substitute J from the first equation into the second equation:

1.05T + T = $3116
2.05T = $3116
T = $3116 / 2.05 = $1520 (this is the actual savings of Tiffany)

Substitute T = $1520 into the first equation to find J:

J = 1.05 * $1520 = $1596 (this is the actual savings of Jia Xin)

So, the actual amount of Jia Xin's savings was $1596.
