What is 95 times greater than 57?

95 times greater than 57 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 5415 (since 95 x 57 = 5415). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

5415 is greater than 95 x 57.

But that is not true. 5415 is not greater than 95 x 57. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=95 and b=57 to get this answer:

(95 + 1) x 57 = 5472

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 96 times 57?" 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 95 times greater than 57, they mean 95 times as much as 57 which equals 5415. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
