What is 79 times greater than 54?

79 times greater than 54 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4266 (since 79 x 54 = 4266). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4266 is greater than 79 x 54.

But that is not true. 4266 is not greater than 79 x 54. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=79 and b=54 to get this answer:

(79 + 1) x 54 = 4320

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 80 times 54?" 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 79 times greater than 54, they mean 79 times as much as 54 which equals 4266. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
