It usually refers to the mass of an object together with its container. For example the gross mass of a tin of soup will be the mass of the soup plus the mass of the tin. As a consumer, you will probably be interested in only the net mass - the mass of the soup - but for the haulier it is the gross mass that matters.
For something like breakfast cereal the mass of the container may well be a significant proportion of the gross mass.

To find the gross mass of a carton of a dozen 60g eggs, we first calculate the total mass of the eggs: 12 eggs x 60g/egg = 720g. Then, we add the mass of the egg carton: 720g (eggs) + 35g (carton) = 755g. Therefore, the gross mass of a carton of a dozen 60g eggs is 755 grams.
1 gross = 144 → ½ gross = ½ × 144 = 72
