What is 76 times greater than 33?

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

Let's assume the answer = 2508 (since 76 x 33 = 2508). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2508 is greater than 76 x 33.

But that is not true. 2508 is not greater than 76 x 33. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=76 and b=33 to get this answer:

(76 + 1) x 33 = 2541

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 77 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 76 times greater than 33, they mean 76 times as much as 33 which equals 2508. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
