What is 75 times greater than 10?

75 times greater than 10 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 750 (since 75 x 10 = 750). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

750 is greater than 75 x 10.

But that is not true. 750 is not greater than 75 x 10. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=75 and b=10 to get this answer:

(75 + 1) x 10 = 760

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 76 times 10?" 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 75 times greater than 10, they mean 75 times as much as 10 which equals 750. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
