[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many apples Maria has, we need to add the number of apples Kara has to the additional 3 apples that Maria has. Since Kara has 9 apples, we can simply add 3 to her total.

Mathematically, we can express this as:

Maria's apples = Kara's apples + additional apples
Maria's apples = 9 apples + 3 apples
Maria's apples = 12 apples

Therefore, Maria has 12 apples.
