What is 93 times greater than 84?

93 times greater than 84 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 7812 (since 93 x 84 = 7812). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

7812 is greater than 93 x 84.

But that is not true. 7812 is not greater than 93 x 84. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=93 and b=84 to get this answer:

(93 + 1) x 84 = 7896

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 94 times 84?" 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 93 times greater than 84, they mean 93 times as much as 84 which equals 7812. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
