What is 67 times greater than 5?

67 times greater than 5 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 335 (since 67 x 5 = 335). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

335 is greater than 67 x 5.

But that is not true. 335 is not greater than 67 x 5. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=67 and b=5 to get this answer:

(67 + 1) x 5 = 340

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 68 times 5?" 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 67 times greater than 5, they mean 67 times as much as 5 which equals 335. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
