Solution
Core Logic
Eosinophils constitute 2 - 3% of total WBCs. Hence its value is approximately 2% to 3% of 8000/cu mm:
0.02 × 8000 = 160 0.03 × 8000 = 240So, eosinophils range from 160 - 240 /cu mm.
Lymphocytes constitute 20 - 25% of total WBCs. Hence its value is approximately 20% to 25% of 8000/cu mm:
0.20 × 8000 = 1600 0.25 × 8000 = 2000So, lymphocytes range from 1600 - 2000 /cu mm.
Pattern Recognition
Memorize the standard percentages: Neutrophils (60-65%), Lymphocytes (20-25%), Monocytes (6-8%), Eosinophils (2-3%), Basophils (0.5-1%). Apply directly to total count.
