200 gallons of regular gas and 80 gallons of premium gas were sold.

Let the amount of regular gas sold be x gallons. So, the amount of premium gas sold will be (280 - x).

Now, forming the equation using the given information, to find the amount of each type of gallon.

Equation -

2.10x + 2.90(280 - x) = 652

Performing multiplication with values inside bracket in Left Hand Side

2.10x + 812 - 2.90x = 652

Rewriting the equation -

812 - 652 = 2.90x - 2.10x

Performing subtraction

160  = 0.8x

Rewriting the equation according to x

x = 160÷0.8

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 200

So, 200 gallons of regular gas was sold.

Amount of premium gas sold = 280 - 200

Performing subtraction

Amount of premium gas sold = 80 gallons

Hence, 200 gallons of regular gas and 80 gallons of premium gas was sold.
