In the third quarter of 2015, Atlantis Law Firm had 20 lawyers and 400 cases. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the firm had 22 lawyers and 500 cases. By approximately what percent did the ratio of lawyers to cases decrease from the third quarter to the fourth quarter.	Choose the correct choice.
A) 10.0%  B) 11.0%  C) 12.0%  D) 13.0%  E) 14.0%
3rd quarter: lawyers/cases = 20/400 =100/2000   4th quarter: lawyers/cases = 22/500 =88/2000   ASIDE: It's useful to write both ratios with the same denominator. This allows us to IGNORE the denominator and focus solely on the numerators.   So, our ratio went from 100/2000 to 88/2000   Ignoring the denominators, we went from 100 to 88   The percent change = 100(difference in values)/(original value)   = (100)(100-88)/100   = (100)(12)/100)   =12.0   Answer: 12.0%
