The approximation for the total number of cells is obtained by summing up the number of cells in each dish:
22,349 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,521
Therefore, the closest option is 100,000.
There are three Petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,349 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are three in total?
