Question

If there were 9 apples and John ate 8 of them, then went to the supermarket to buy another apple. How many apples does John have?

Answer 1

It’s a trick question. The Apple he ate were 8 out of 9. There was 1 Apple left but it wasn’t his apple, he liked the apple flavor so he went to the super market to buy 1. So he has 1 apple with him.

Answer 2

1 apple

Explanation:

9 apples - 8 apples, so there is one apple left, but it is not John's apple, and he goes to the store to buy one so now he has one. :)
