Jimmy has 18% more cookies than Janice. What percentage of cookies should Jimmy give to Janice so that both Jimmy and Janice have the same number of cookies?	Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 7.6%
B) 8.5%
C) 9%
D) 11%
E) 12.2%
An easy way to solve this question is by number plugging. Assume Janice has 100 cookies then Jimmy has 118 cookies. Now, for both Jimmy and Janice to have equal amounts of cookies we should give Janice 9 of Jimmy's cookies, which is 9/118=~7.6% of Jimmy's cookies.   7.6%nswer: 7.6%.
