YOU would have 3 apples. You see, there are 5 apples, but you don't have those apples, if you take 3 away, then you are taking 3 of those apples, which then you have 3 apples, and you leave 2 left over.
You would still have 5
If 'take away 3' means 'giving away the 3' to another then the answer is two (2) apples. Otherwise, If 'take away 3' means 'keeping the 3' to yourself and sharing the five (5) apples, the answer is three (3) apples. However, if 'take away 3' means 'keeping the 3' to yourself and still have the five (5) apples then the answer is eight (8) apples.
you have 4 apples and you take away three. In other words, you take apples from yourself, which means you now have 3, but you already have one so you actually have 4. The answer is four. I win. Give me money.

5 - 3 = 2 Therefore, you would have two apples.
