What is 43 times greater than 94?

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

Let's assume the answer = 4042 (since 43 x 94 = 4042). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4042 is greater than 43 x 94.

But that is not true. 4042 is not greater than 43 x 94. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=43 and b=94 to get this answer:

(43 + 1) x 94 = 4136

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 44 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 43 times greater than 94, they mean 43 times as much as 94 which equals 4042. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
