What is 90 times greater than 54?

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

Let's assume the answer = 4860 (since 90 x 54 = 4860). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4860 is greater than 90 x 54.

But that is not true. 4860 is not greater than 90 x 54. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=90 and b=54 to get this answer:

(90 + 1) x 54 = 4914

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 91 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 90 times greater than 54, they mean 90 times as much as 54 which equals 4860. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
