Why is there 12 in a dozen?
351891
The number (12) came first before the name (dozen)...\n\nSo the question should have been: Why is 12 named a dozen?\n\nLike:\n\nWhy is 1 cent called a penny?\n\nWhy is 5 cents called a nickel?\n\nWhy is 10 cents called a dime?\n\nWhy is 25 cents called a quarter?\n\nGet it?

The Fundamental Counting Principle gives us 12 combinations in this case, so if the first 12 are wearing different things, then the 13th must be wearing one of the other 12's combos. The answer to your second question is 25.

I thinkit's more the number significance than the amount.\n\n12 is a power number....

12 I'd say 1 is most common reason, 4 is sometimes a reason and occasionally 8 pertains to some people.

because for every dozen the baker sold he ate one, so every "dozen" on his inventory was 13.

by referring to 'a dice' there is a contradiction in terms\ndice is plural, therefore meaning more than one\non a set of dice there are 12 positive numbers\non a singular die, (which i believe you mean) there are 6 postive numbers
