Answer choices
100,000 100,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 10,000 10,000 150,000

Answer 1

To find the approximate total number of cells, you can add up the number of cells in each petri dish:

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

Therefore, there are approximately 102,512 cells in total. None of the answer choices provided match this number.
