Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation as given in this book (the representation uses a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with a bias of 15, a normalized mantissa of 8 bits, and a single sign bit for the number). What decimal value (no leading/trailing zeros) for the sum of 01011011001000 and 00111010000000 is the computer actually storing?

The representation of 100.0 in the floating-point representation is computed as follows: First convert the given number 100.0 in the binary form. 10010 = 11001002 the binary representation.
