A mobile phone holds 1.28×1011 bytes of storage. You can also pay more money to get an additional 384,000,000,000 bytes. How much storage would your phone have if you buy the additional bytes? The answer should be in scientific notation.(1 point)

To calculate the total storage of the mobile phone if you buy the additional bytes, you need to add the original storage of 1.28×10^11 bytes to the additional 384,000,000,000 bytes.
1.28×10^11 + 384,000,000,000
Adding these two numbers together, you get:
385,280,000,000
In scientific notation, this can be written as:
3.8528×10^11
So, if you buy the additional bytes, your phone will have a total storage of 3.8528×10^11 bytes.
To find the total storage of the phone after buying the additional bytes, you'll need to add the original storage (1.28×10^11 bytes) to the additional storage (384,000,000,000 bytes).
First, convert the additional storage to scientific notation by moving the decimal point until there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. This gives us:
384,000,000,000 = 3.84 × 10^11
Now, add the original storage and the additional storage together:
1.28 × 10^11 + 3.84 × 10^11 = 5.12 × 10^11
Hence, the phone would have 5.12 × 10^11 bytes of storage if you buy the additional bytes.
