Great Gross to Dozen Dozen conversion

What is great gross?

"Great Gross" can refer to two different concepts depending on the context. However, in most financial and accounting contexts, "great gross" typically refers to a term used to describe total sales or revenue before any deductions for expenses such as taxes, commissions, or other costs are considered. This is essentially an old-fashioned way of saying "gross sales" or "total income," with no adjustments made for various operational expenses.

In other contexts, the concept might slightly differ based on the specific use in economics, accounting, or financial discussions. If you're referring to a particular context (like business, tax law, etc.), it would help clarify your question. However, the most common interpretation is related to total revenue before subtracting any costs.

What is dozen dozen?

A "dozen" is 12 items, and a "dozen dozen", also known as a "gross", is therefore 12 x 12 = 144 items.

In other words, if you have a dozen eggs (12 eggs), and you take a dozen of those dozens (12 groups of 12 eggs each), you'll end up with a total of 144 eggs!

The term "dozen" comes from Old English and Germanic roots, where it was used to describe a group of 12 items. The word "gross", on the other hand, is derived from the Middle Low German and Middle Dutch words for "a dozen dozens".

So, there you have it! A dozen dozen (or gross) is indeed 144 items.
