What is 71 times greater than 94?

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

Let's assume the answer = 6674 (since 71 x 94 = 6674). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

6674 is greater than 71 x 94.

But that is not true. 6674 is not greater than 71 x 94. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=71 and b=94 to get this answer:

(71 + 1) x 94 = 6768

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 72 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 71 times greater than 94, they mean 71 times as much as 94 which equals 6674. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
