    Roberto has taken 17 photos photos are placed on each odd number page and the newspaper has 10 pages total. The pages with photographs will have 3 or 4 photos each. How many pages has 3 photos and how many pages have 4 photos?

    Odd pages are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

    17/5 = 3 with 2 remaining.

    So all 5 pages have 3 photos. Then with 2 left over, 2 pages get 4 photos.

    So 5 pages have 3 photos, and 2 pages have 2 photos
    3(3) + 4(2) = 9 + 8 = 17
