Creatively image a question and justification for this answer: 35
The question is: A zoo has 8 parrots. It 3 times the number of snakes than parrots and 2 times the number of monkeys than snakes. The number of elephants is half the number of parrots and snakes added up, and there are 3 fewer zebras than elephants. What is the difference in number between the zebras and the monkeys?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The zoo has 8 x 3 = 24 snakes. It has 24 x 2 = 48 monkeys. The number of parrots and snakes added up is 8 + 24 = 32. There are 32 / 2 = 16 elephants. There are 16 - 3 = 13 zebras. The difference between zebras and monkeys is 48 - 13 = 35.
