[Question]Dream's car consumes 4 gallons of gas per mile. If she drives 400 miles today and 200 more miles tomorrow than today, how many gallons of gas will the car consume?
[Answer]If she drives 400 miles today, the car will have consumed 4 * 400 = 1600 gallons of gas. Tomorrow, if she drives 200 more miles, the total distance will be 200 + 400 = 600 miles. The fuel consumption by the car tomorrow is 4 * 600 = 2400 gallons. The car's total fuel consumption in the two days is 2400 + 1600 = 4000 gallons. The answer is 4000.

Q: In eight years, Mr. Bernard will be 3 times as old as Luke is now. If Luke is 20, what is 10 years less than their average age?
A: If Luke is 20, he will be 20 + 8 = 28 years old in eight years. In eight years, Mr. Bernard will be 3 times as old as Luke is now, a total of 3 * 20 = 60 years old. Mr. Bernard is now 60 - 8 = 52 years old. The sum of their current ages is 52 + 20 = 72. Their average age is 72 / 2 = 36. 10 less than their average age is 36 - 10 = 26 years. The answer is 26.
