What is 94 times greater than 49?

94 times greater than 49 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4606 (since 94 x 49 = 4606). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4606 is greater than 94 x 49.

But that is not true. 4606 is not greater than 94 x 49. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=94 and b=49 to get this answer:

(94 + 1) x 49 = 4655

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 95 times 49?" 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 94 times greater than 49, they mean 94 times as much as 49 which equals 4606. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
