A box has 2 dozen water bottles and half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles. How many bottles are in the box? Let's be accurate as possible.

Since a dozen has 12 items, the box has 2 dozen water bottles, a total of 2 * 12 = 24 water bottles. The box also has half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles, meaning there are 1 / 2 * 12 = 6 more apple bottles than water bottles. The total number of apple bottles in the box is 24 + 6 = 30. In the box, there are a total of 30 + 24 = 54 bottles.
The answer: 54.
