What is 54 times greater than 76?

54 times greater than 76 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4104 (since 54 x 76 = 4104). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4104 is greater than 54 x 76.

But that is not true. 4104 is not greater than 54 x 76. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=54 and b=76 to get this answer:

(54 + 1) x 76 = 4180

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 55 times 76?" 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 76, they mean 54 times as much as 76 which equals 4104. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
