The total mail delivered for these two months can be found by adding the mail delivered in December and January:
7.14 x 10^10 + 3.21 x 10^10 = 10.35 x 10^10
Therefore, the total mail delivered for these two months is 1.035 x 10^11, which corresponds to answer choice d. 1.035 x 10^11.
7.14 x 10^10 + 3.21 x 10^10 = 10.35 x 10^10
Therefore, the total mail delivered for these two months is 1.035 x 10^11, which corresponds to answer choice d. 1.035 x 10^11.
