Melody the question clearly means that his friend Bob ate his apples so let's not confuse ourselves ! 

Jerry had 28 apples and then his friend Bob ate two apples so:

28 -2 = 26 ANSWER

so now Jerry is left with 26 apples !

Melody if Bob had eaten someone else's apples then it would be given in the question and as nothing relating is given so let's not waste our time thinking this !

It would depend on whether Bob at Jerry's apples or his own apples.  Wouldn't it?
