Answer:

The answer to your question is: 5 bottles

Explanation:

Process

First week

Divide 24 by 8

24/8 = 3 bottles = 1/8

but Sanjay drank 3/8 = 9 bottles

And there are 24 - 9 bottles left = 15

- Second week

Divide 15 by 3

15/3 = 5 then 5 bottles = 1/3

but sanjay drank 2/3 = 10 bottles

Then, there are 15 - 10 bottles left = 5
