 <translate> 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 final answer: 54. <yor> Níwọ̀n bí ẹyọ méjìlá ti wà nínú ẹyọ kan, ẹyọ kan ní ẹyọ méjìlá nínú àwọn ìgò omi, tó fi jẹ́ pé 2 * 12 = 24 ìgò omi.
