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 find the total storage after buying the additional bytes, we start with the storage amount in scientific notation and then add the additional bytes.

  1. The current storage is \( 1.28 \times 10^{11} \) bytes.
  2. The additional storage is \( 384,000,000,000 \) bytes.

Next, we convert the additional storage into scientific notation:

\[ 384,000,000,000 = 3.84 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Now we can add the two quantities:

\[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} + 3.84 \times 10^{11} \]

Combining these:

\[ (1.28 + 3.84) \times 10^{11} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

So, if you buy the additional bytes, your phone would have a total storage of:

\[ \boxed{5.12 \times 10^{11}} \]
