What is 74 times greater than 33?

74 times greater than 33 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2442 (since 74 x 33 = 2442). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2442 is greater than 74 x 33.

But that is not true. 2442 is not greater than 74 x 33. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=74 and b=33 to get this answer:

(74 + 1) x 33 = 2475

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 75 times 33?" 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 74 times greater than 33, they mean 74 times as much as 33 which equals 2442. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
