What is 80 times greater than 76?

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

Let's assume the answer = 6080 (since 80 x 76 = 6080). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

6080 is greater than 80 x 76.

But that is not true. 6080 is not greater than 80 x 76. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=80 and b=76 to get this answer:

(80 + 1) x 76 = 6156

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 81 times 76?" 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 80 times greater than 76, they mean 80 times as much as 76 which equals 6080. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
