Sylvia buys a case of water that contains 24 bottles and sells x number of bottles to her co-workers. Sam buys a case of water than contains 36 bottles and sells three times as many bottles as Sylvia sold to his co-workers. How many bottles of water did Sylvia sell if they ended up with the same number of bottles of water left over?

It is given that Sylvia sells x number of bottles and Sam sells three times as many bottles as Sylvia sold to his co-workers.

So, number of bottles Sam sold is 3x.

It is also given that, number of remaining bottle Sylvia and Sam have same.

So,

24 - x = 36 - 3x

3x - x = 36 - 24

2x = 12

x = 6

Therefore, Sylvia sells 6 bottles.

Hence, this is the required solution.
