To find the approximate total number of cells, you can round each number to the nearest thousand and then add them together.
Rounded number of cells in the first dish: 22,000
Rounded number of cells in the second dish: 44,000
Rounded number of cells in the third dish: 37,000
Approximate total number of cells: 22,000 + 44,000 + 37,000 = 103000
Therefore, there are approximately 103,000 cells in total.
