The owner of a malt shop spent $3 buying 2 boxes of cups with each box containing 516 cups. if he expected the cups to last 6 months, how many cups does he plan to use each month?

172, since he bought two boxes and each had 516 there was 1,032 in all. Since he wants them to last 6 months, then you divide by six and get 172 :) I think this is what it is asking.
