Answer 1

To find the approximate total number of cells in the three petri dishes, we can add the number of cells in each dish:

• First dish: 22,340 cells
• Second dish: 43,560 cells
• Third dish: 36,612 cells

Now, let's add them together:

22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512 cells

Given the options provided, the closest approximation is 100,000.
