Score as in Mathematical Terms


“Score” means 20! .The term "score" was came from the old English word “scoru”. It is the Middle age English word. Also, in turn, it came from the Norse skor. In mathematical terms score carried a value 20. Abraham Lincoln's celebrated Gettysburg consists of the phrase, "Four score and 7 years ago". In bible the term mentioned as “three score years and ten”.

Orgin of score:

In mathematical terms "Scores" way "groups of 20", just as "dozens" way "groups of 12". "Score" is eventually from the Proto-Indo-European root (s)ker-, sense "to cut" . Another English offspring is "shear". English still uses the word "score" to submit to an indentation or line made by a sharp instrument. Scores cut in wooden tally firewood were used in including, a fact we still make the unwitting suggestion to today when we talk regarding "keeping score". For a while in the history of the Germanic languages, the word for the cut used to record the number 20 became a word for the number itself.
Examples

4 score

Score mean 20 in mathematical terms

`4xx20=80`

Therefore four score is 80

3 score and 10

Score mean 20 in mathematical terms

`3 x 20` and 10

60+10=70.

Therefore 3 score and 10 is 70.

In Abraham Lincoln's celebrated Gettysburg consists of the phrase, "Four score and 7 years ago".

The phrase denotes, in mathematical terms

`4xx20` and 7

80+7

87

The phrase means 87 years ago.

Three score difference 10

Three score

`3xx20`

60 difference 10

60-10

50

Some mistakes arises that in some cases score is taken as 10. It wii lead to wrong answer

We cant assume any value to score. It means to 20 alone.
