Answer: Natalia answered 11 questions while Daphne answered 6

Explanation:

Well... 17-5 (the total amount of questions minus the number of more questions Natalie answered) equals 12 which you will divide by 2 because there are 2 girls, will get Daphnes amount of questions answered (6) and then basically Natalia answered 11
