The image shows a parallel circuit with three branches, each carrying different currents. The problem asks to find the total current in the circuit.

### Given Data:
- First branch: \( 2.5 \, \text{A} \)
- Second branch: \( 2.1 \, \text{A} \)
- Third branch: \( 3.4 \, \text{A} \)

### Solution:
Since this is a parallel circuit, the total current \( I_{\text{total}} \) is the sum of the currents in all branches:

\[
I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2 + I_3
\]

Substitute the given values:

\[
I_{\text{total}} = 2.5 \, \text{A} + 2.1 \, \text{A} + 3.4 \, \text{A}
\]

\[
I_{\text{total}} = 8.0 \, \text{A}
\]

Thus, the total current in the circuit is **8 A**.
