ANS:
4700

Perform the calculation
Determine the total percentage of neutrophils (polys, or segs, and bands).
Multiply white blood cell (WBC) count by percentage of neutrophils.
WBC = 10,000/mm3, neutrophils = 25, and nonsegmented neutrophils (bands) = 22
Step 1: 25 + 22 = 47
Step 2: 0.47  10,000 = 4700/mm3 ANC
