What is 75 times greater than 37?

75 times greater than 37 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2775 (since 75 x 37 = 2775). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2775 is greater than 75 x 37.

But that is not true. 2775 is not greater than 75 x 37. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=75 and b=37 to get this answer:

(75 + 1) x 37 = 2812

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 76 times 37?" 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 37, they mean 75 times as much as 37 which equals 2775. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
