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 your mobile phone would have after buying the additional bytes, you can add the two amounts:

  1. The current storage is \(1.28 \times 10^{11}\) bytes.
  2. The additional storage is \(384,000,000,000\) bytes, which can be expressed in scientific notation as \(3.84 \times 10^{11}\) bytes.

Now, adding these two amounts together:

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

Thus, the total storage would be:

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