7-4=3 (difference of 3 sweets given)
For a difference of 3 sweets, total sweets needed:
17-2=15
15 sweets need for each friend having 3 more sweet, hence the number of John friend:
15/3=5
If John give each friends 4 sweets:
5x4=20
However John is short of 2 sweets (needs 2)
20-2=18
Therefore, John has 18 sweets
