What is 24 times greater than 94?

24 times greater than 94 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2256 (since 24 x 94 = 2256). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2256 is greater than 24 x 94.

But that is not true. 2256 is not greater than 24 x 94. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=24 and b=94 to get this answer:

(24 + 1) x 94 = 2350

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 25 times 94?" instead of saying "times greater than?"

We do not think there is a correct answer, because the question can be misinterpreted.

It seems that when many people write 24 times greater than 94, they mean 24 times as much as 94 which equals 2256. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
