a mobile phone holds 1.28× 10 to the 11th power 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

To find the total storage capacity of the mobile phone after buying the additional bytes, we need to add the two quantities together:

  1. The original storage of the mobile phone is: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

  2. The additional storage you can buy is: \[ 384,000,000,000 \text{ bytes} = 3.84 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Now, we add these two values together: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} + 3.84 \times 10^{11} \]

To add these, we combine the coefficients since they are both in the same power of 10: \[ (1.28 + 3.84) \times 10^{11} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \]

Therefore, the total storage of your phone after buying the additional bytes would be: \[ \boxed{5.12 \times 10^{11}} \text{ bytes} \]
