Question:
what is two gross minus two score ?

Hi georgie,

A dozen score and eight.

A gross is a dozen dozen, that is 12 times 12 or 144. A score is 20. Thus

two gross minus two score
= 2(144) - 2(20)
= 288 - 40
= 248
= 240 + 8
= 12(20) - 8
= a dozen score and eight

I expect your teacher wants the middle line, 248.

Cheers,
Chris
