Original question:

A new hair-growth drug is being sold for three times the price, per mg, as the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.

choices: as that of what at which

What grammar point is being tested here?


When do we say "twice/three times/x times as much/many as"? and when do we say we say "twice/three times/x times that ..."?


Thanks very much,
