To find the total number of cells in the three petri dishes, we can sum 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

The approximate total is 100,000.

Therefore, the correct response is:

100,000
