The 80 people with 45 sells, hands down. You don't need more showroom, showroom depends on the product. You don't need more staff, they work on commission, and again are proportional to the inventory.

Let alone that the comparison is pointless, in Europe people who don't want a car don't go car shopping and don't consume any imaginary resources. You are in a town of 80 people and 45 visit your store to buy a car instead of a town of 40 where all 40 buy.

Well this is a waste of my time so I will leave you with one final look up. How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?

Hint the answer is the US
