Help for a question in Mock AMC 8

Bake Sale

Four friends, Art, Roger, Paul and Trisha, bake cookies, and all cookies have the same thickness. The shapes of the cookies differ, as shown.


How many cookies will be in one batch of Trisha's cookies?

(A) 10(B) 12(C) 16(D) 18(E) 24


 Anybody can help me on this problem? The answer was E. But, I think the given information in this question was insufficient. 

Thanks!

You are right, Luke. The problem was missing in the end "Each friend uses the same amount of dough, and Art makes exactly $12$ cookies".
