Answer:

27.6 miles per gallon

Explanation:

Lisa's family drove 830.76 miles to visit her grandparents.

Lisa calculated that they used 30.1 gallons of gas.

To calculate the car average =
$\frac{\text{distance covered}}{\text{fuel used}}$

=
(830.76)/(30.1)

= 27.6 miles/gallon

The mileage of the car would be 27.6 miles/gallon.
