Ted would pay $26.50 for 30 liters of unleaded and 25 liters of supreme gas.

Let x represent the price of unleaded gas and y represent the price of supreme gas.

2 liters of unleaded and 3  liters of supreme cost a total of $2.52. Hence:

2x + 3y = 2.52    (1)

Five liters of unleaded and 4 liters of supreme cost a total of $4.48. Hence:

5x + 4y = 4.48    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 0.48, y = 0.52

For 30 liters of unleaded and also filled his car with 25 liters of supreme:

Cost = 30(0.48) + 0.52(25) = $26.5

Ted would pay $26.50 for 30 liters of unleaded and 25 liters of supreme gas.
