Let's start by translating the statement "The zoo has four more monkeys than deer" into a mathematical equation.
Let \( D \) be the number of deer. According to the problem, the zoo has 4 more monkeys than deer, which can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Number of monkeys} = D + 4
\]
We are given that the zoo has 13 monkeys. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
\[
D + 4 = 13
\]
To solve for \( D \), we can subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
\[
D = 13 - 4
\]
\[
D = 9
\]
So, the zoo has **9 deer**.
