I marked the error in line 14:

Spoiler

public class Ch_05_01_ControlStructures {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	int[] sales2014 = {500,720,515,377,400,435,510,1010,894,765,992,1125};
	int[] staff2014 = {7,5,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,9};
	
	int[] salesPerStaff = new int[12];    // I will very likely delete this.
	
	
	// Ch_05_01_ControlStructures Pass1 = new Ch_05_01_ControlStructures();
	
	avgSalesStaff(sales2014, staff2014); // Error: Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method avgSalesStaff(int[], int[]) from the type Ch_05_01_ControlStructures
		 
	}
		
	void avgSalesStaff (int[] sales, int[] staff)	{
			
		int totalSales2014 = 0;
		
		for (int i=0; i< sales.length; i++)	{
			sales[i] = sales[i]/staff[i];
			
			totalSales2014 += sales[i];
			
			System.out.println("Total 2014 sales: " + totalSales2014);
		}		
	}
}

The other examples I came only deals with passing a single array argument.

You are trying to call a non static method from your main method ,to do so you have to make your method static or create an object of that class and call the method.

This is why I created the following in line 12:
Ch_05_01_ControlStructures Pass1 = new Ch_05_01_ControlStructures();

Awesome, that seemed to do the trick.

The following worked:
Pass1.avgSalesStaff(sales2014, staff2014);

The following did not:
Pass1.avgSalesStaff(sales2014[], staff2014[]);

To do the static method way:

avgSalesStaff(sales2014, staff2014);
static void avgSalesStaff (int[] sales, int[] staff)

Thank your for the assistance.
