Maria starts with 15 apples. She gives 3 apples to each of her 4 friends.
First, calculate the total number of apples she gives away:
\[
3 \text{ apples/friend} \times 4 \text{ friends} = 12 \text{ apples}
\]
Next, subtract the number of apples given away from the total number of apples Maria originally had:
\[
15 \text{ apples} - 12 \text{ apples} = 3 \text{ apples}
\]
Therefore, Maria has 3 apples left.
