To find the total storage of the mobile phone after adding the additional bytes, we first need to express both numbers in scientific notation:

  1. The original storage: \[ 1.28 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

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

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

To add them, we keep the powers of 10 the same: \[ (1.28 + 3.84) \times 10^{11} = 5.12 \times 10^{11} \]

So, the total storage would be: \[ 5.12 \times 10^{11} \text{ bytes} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is: 5.12×10¹¹.
