Final Answer:
1) 18 girls
2) 12 red skittles

5) 4 games lost
6) 13 children have blue eyes
7) 80% are dogs
8) $5 reduction
9) 40 students cannot drive
10) 30 people

The trick problem is #7 — it asks for the percentage of dogs, but only gives the percentage of cats. Since all animals are either cats or dogs (implied), you subtract 20% from 100% to get 80%.
