What is 94 times greater than 98?

94 times greater than 98 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 9212 (since 94 x 98 = 9212). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

9212 is greater than 94 x 98.

But that is not true. 9212 is not greater than 94 x 98. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=94 and b=98 to get this answer:

(94 + 1) x 98 = 9310

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 95 times 98?" 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 98, they mean 94 times as much as 98 which equals 9212. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
