1. The problem states: If one wadda has 50 apples and there are 3 waddas, how many apples are there in total? 2. To find the total number of apples, we use the multiplication formula: $$\text{Total apples} = \text{Number of waddas} \times \text{Apples per wadda}$$ 3. Substitute the given values: $$\text{Total apples} = 3 \times 50$$ 4. Multiply: $$3 \times 50 = 150$$ 5. Therefore, there are 150 apples in total when 3 waddas each have 50 apples.
