Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
There are 14 caterpillars on the tree. 4 more eggs hatch, and baby caterpillars climb out to munch on the leaves.  8 fat caterpillars leave the tree to cocoon themselves to be butterflies.  How many caterpillars are left on the tree?

### Response:
There are 14 caterpillars on the tree.
4 more caterpillars hatch.
So there are 14 + 4 = <<14+4=18>>18 caterpillars on the tree.
8 caterpillars leave the tree.
So there are 18 - 8 = <<18-8=10>>10 caterpillars left on the tree.
#### 10
