There are three petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,340 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells, and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are there in total?
Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation?
x50−94=189
To find the total number of cells, we add up the number of cells in each dish: 22,340 cells + 43,560 cells + 36,612 cells = <<22340+43560+36612=102512>>102,512 cells.
Therefore, there are approximately 102,512 cells in total.
