What is 76 times greater than 90?

76 times greater than 90 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 6840 (since 76 x 90 = 6840). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

6840 is greater than 76 x 90.

But that is not true. 6840 is not greater than 76 x 90. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=76 and b=90 to get this answer:

(76 + 1) x 90 = 6930

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 77 times 90?" 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 90, they mean 76 times as much as 90 which equals 6840. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
