To find out how many gallons of gas Charles can buy, we need to first calculate how much money he has left after purchasing the bottle of water.

1. Charles starts with $53.
2. He buys a bottle of water for $3.

Money left after buying water:
\[
53 - 3 = 50
\]

3. Gas costs $5 per gallon. To find the maximum number of gallons Charles can buy with the remaining money, we divide the remaining amount by the cost per gallon:
\[
\frac{50}{5} = 10
\]

So, Charles can get at most **10 gallons** of gas.
