    Small bottles = 161 bottles

    Large bottles = 483 bottles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of small bottles be X.

    So, we are told that small bottles are three times the number of large bottles.

    So, number of large bottles = 3X

    We are told that she drank double number of medium bottles as small bottles.

    So, 2 * medium bottles = X

    Medium bottles = X/2 = 0.5X

    Thus, total number of bottles drank is given as 726.

    So, X + 0.5X + 3X = 726

    4.5X = 726

    X = 726/4.5

    X ≈ 161 bottles

    So, number of small bottles = 161 and number of large bottles = 3 * 161 = 483 bottles
