Two dozen is 12*2=<<12*2=24>>24.

Eight less than two dozen bandages is 24-8=<<24-8=16>>16 bandages.

She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee for a total of 2+3=<<2+3=5>>5 bandages.

Therefore, after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees there were 16-5=<<16-5=11>>11 bandages remaining in the box.

Peggy fell off her bike and skinned her knees.  She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee.  If the box of bandages had 8 less than two dozen bandages before Peggy skinned her knees, how many bandages were left in the box after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees?
