Hi All,

Sales of US mfg goods to Japan rose to 166 billion in 1992, an amount that is (14 percent higher than the previous year's figure)

A) As is
B) 14% more than the previous year's figure.

The EC exported just under 400 billion in goods in 1988, (sixty percent more than) the US exported.

A) As is
B) sixty percent higher than.

In both choices higher is the answer.. Can anyone tell me when to use "higher" and when to use "more"...

Thanks
