2. The amount that Wei spent on gas the morning of his trip was $30.15.

3. The number of miles per gallon that Wei's car got was 32.72 miles per gallon.

How are the miles per gallon determined?

The miles per gallon covered on a trip is the total distance travelled divided by the quantity of gallons of gas used.

Data and Calculations:

Available gallons of gas = 5.75 gallons

The number of gallons purchased to fill the tank = 7.75 gallons

The total gallons that fill the gas tank = 13.5 gallons (5.75 + 7.75)

Cost of gas per gallon = $3.89

Cost of gas bought the morning of the trip = $30.15 ($3.89 x 7.75)

The total cost of gas for the gas tank = $52.52 ($3.89 x 13.5)

The number of miles per gallon = 32.72 miles per gallon (441.75/13.5)

Thus, Wei spent a total of $52.52 for 13.5 gallons of gas at $3.89 per gallon before refilling his tank.
