What is 95 times greater than 93?

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

Let's assume the answer = 8835 (since 95 x 93 = 8835). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

8835 is greater than 95 x 93.

But that is not true. 8835 is not greater than 95 x 93. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=95 and b=93 to get this answer:

(95 + 1) x 93 = 8928

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 96 times 93?" 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 93, they mean 95 times as much as 93 which equals 8835. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
