There is only one number 7.
The wording here implys there could be more than one. But no.
If the original question was asking how many of the numbers, from 1 to 100, contain the digit 7, the answer is 19.
Or, if the question had been about how many times the digit 7 would be used between 1 and 100, the answer is 20.
IQ tests, like people, are flawed. How, who, and when a question is asked, in wording, tone, situation, or cognitive development has just as much relevance.

An ambiguous question that could be answered in a few ways
07 17 27 37 47 57 67 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 87 97
Answer = 20
or 14 if you divide 99/7
7 17 27 37 47 57 67 77 87 97
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
11
side note is that there are 11 of any number 1 – 9 between 1 and 100.
There’s one per dozen, plus 9 from the seventh dozen.
That’s 1*10 + 9 = 19 sevens.

Of course, 20 the 77 counts as two. Well done to all who got it right.
1 for each decade, plus nine more for the 7th decade,
its either 14.28 if you meant 100/7 or 11if you meant 7,17,27,37, 47…etc etc
