How many photos are in 1 GB of storage in the cloud?

I've imported my photos to a computer as a back up, but how many photos do I need to delete from my camera roll in order to free up 1 GB of cloud storage? I could just delete 100 and see what space it takes up afterwards, but if someone has an estimate, it would be helpful! Thank you in advance!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1

Depends entirely on the photo. I've found on my 5s they range from about 1.7MB to 3.8MB. Most are aroung 3-3.5MB. If you assumed they averaged about 3MB, you would need to delete a little over 300. If you don't want to overshoot, start with 200.
