Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of data used

To find out the total data used by Samir and Jillian, we need to add the data used by each of them. The formula for the sum (S) of two numbers (a) and (b) is (S=a + b). Here, (a = 4.23) ([Client Connection Error]data used by Samir) and (b=2.89) (data used by Jillian). So, (S=4.23+2.89). [ \begin{align*} 4.23+2.89&=(4 + 0.23)+(2+0.89)\ &=(4 + 2)+(0.23+0.89)\ &=6+1.12\ &=7.34 \end{align*} ]

Step2: Compare the sum with the total allowed data

We know that the total allowed data is (8) GB. We compare the sum of data used ((7.34) GB) with (8) GB. Since (7.34<8), there is data left.

Answer:

Find the sum of Samir’s and Jillian’s data. Compare that amount to (8) GB.
