Answer:

  94.9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is straightforward addition to find the sum of the two numbers to be 94.871. Perhaps you're interested in rounding to the appropriate precision.

Here, the number with the fewest digits right of the decimal point is 10.9. In order to round the addition result appropriately, that "exact" result must be rounded so it has this same number of digits to the right of the decimal point (1 digit).

  94.871 ≈ 94.9

Additional comment

When you're asked to round a sum (or difference) to the appropriate precision, always first compute the exact result using the full precision of all contributors. Then determine the contributor with the least precision (least significant digit is farthest to the left), and round the result to that same precision.
