What is 54 times greater than 65?

54 times greater than 65 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 3510 (since 54 x 65 = 3510). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3510 is greater than 54 x 65.

But that is not true. 3510 is not greater than 54 x 65. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=54 and b=65 to get this answer:

(54 + 1) x 65 = 3575

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 55 times 65?" 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 54 times greater than 65, they mean 54 times as much as 65 which equals 3510. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
