I think it's reasonable if you consider the kind of physical situation it might represent.

You visit a farm and there are 2 unpackaged apples. There are also 5 packages that hold 8 apples but 5 have been removed from each. How many apples are there?

    In fairness, this one isn't nearly as bad as most of the ambiguous problems that get passed around on Facebook with multiple parentheticals and such.

    Your word problem is excellent.
