Answer 1

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

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

Now, add them together:

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

The closest approximate total from the provided options is:

100,000
