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.
