Answer:

333 cars

Explanation:

Assuming among 6 agents, the working efficiency is the same and constant. Fixing number of agents:

6 agents can sell 333 cars in 3 months.

=> 6 agents can sell 333/3 cars in 3/3 month.

=> 6 agents can sell 111 cars in 1 month.

Fixing number of months:

=> 6/2 agents can sell 111/2 cars in 1 month.

=> 3 agents can sell 111/2 cars in 1 month.

Then considering that 3 agents worked in 6 months:

=> 3 agents can sell 6 x 111/2 cars in 6 x 1 months.

=> 3 agents can sell 333 cars in 6 months.
