80/86 = .930 = 93% ( I think)

but where did u get 80 form? i was thinking 50 x 100 then divide by 86???

anonymous · Answer

I added the 50 neutrophils and 30 lymphocytes and got 80. I then put that over the total white blood cells, which is 86. I then divided it and turned the decimal into a percent.
