[spoiler]OA: E[/spoiler] but my pick was C since in E it is not obvious which items are compared.. in fact the amount of sales are the point of comparison.. therefore, to me we have to say 'than .......... sold and nearly 3 times as much as ....'s sales'could you please clarify me

My Q is that '3 times more than' correct or '3 times as much as'?
According to MGMAT, this is a wrong sentence "the man is five times older than his grand son"
it should be replaced by "five times as old as" otherwise the original sentence means that the man is 6 times older than his grandson.
