Question: Carolyn counts 6 monkeys and 6 birds in the tree outside her window. Then two of the monkeys each eat one bird. What percent of the animals outside her window are monkeys now?
Answer: First find the new number of birds: 6 birds - 2 birds = 4 birds. Then find the new total number of animals: 6 monkeys + 4 birds = 10 animals. Then divide the number of monkeys by the number of animals and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 6 monkeys / 10 animals * 100% = 60%. The answer is 60.
[Question]Marj has two $20 bills, three $5 bills, and $4.50 in loose coins in her wallet. If she buys a cake that costs $17.50, how much money will be left in her wallet?
[Answer]Two $20 bills amount to $20 x 2 = $40. Three $5 bills amount to $5 x 3 = $15. So, Marj has $40 + $15 + $4.50 = $59.50 in her wallet. If she buys a cake, she will be left with $59.50 - $17.50 = $42. The answer is 42.
Q: Two days ago, Uncle Welly planted 50 roses on his vacant lot. Yesterday, he planted 20 more roses than the previous day. Today, he planted twice the number of roses than two days ago. How many roses did Uncle Welly plant in his vacant lot?

[Question]Lisa walks 10 meters each minute. Every day, she walks for an hour. How many meters will Lisa walk in two days?
