revenues = plural = amount... I doubt if revenues is correct?
amount = sum = same word
revenues ( count/uncount) (higher/more)

IMO : amounted to more than 300M$
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

Could you please tell me why "higher" is incorrect in this case ?

Money[Number] cannot be higher or lower , it can be expressed as more than or less than .

Ex - The profit was higher than $100 million OR The profit was more than $100 million.

also higher than is a comparitive form and nothing is been compared here. it only talks abt one year data. so its usage its wrong.
