If you have three apples and you buy two more, how many apples do you have?

To determine the total number of apples after buying more, start with the original quantity you have—three apples. When you buy two additional apples, you are adding that amount to your existing count. The calculation is straightforward:

3 apples (the amount you already have) + 2 apples (the amount you bought) equals a total of 5 apples.

Thus, the answer reflects the sum of your original apples and the new ones purchased. The correct count of apples you now have is indeed 5.
