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? (1 point)

150,000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000

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

22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512
The approximate total number of cells is 102,512.
