This.
Multiplication before addition. 50 x 0 is zero so just chuck that portion of the whole thing.
Which leaves: 50 + 1 = 51

Multiplication and division are in the same order so you go left to right.
The answer is one.

"Parentheses outrank exponents, which outrank multiplication and division (but multiplication and division are at the same rank),"

(Note: Speakers of British English often instead use "BODMAS", which stands for "Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, and Addition and Subtraction". Since "brackets" are the same as parentheses and "orders" are the same as exponents, the two acronyms mean the same thing.)

You got me. I said 1 when I glanced at it. But, I saw 50 x 0 +1. Missing numbers in my business is a cardinal error-oops
