A recent survey regarding the use of the Internet by the nation's top business leaders found that nearly ninety-five percent of them are subscribed to business-related RSS feeds, almost the same as the number of those who have subscriptions to The Wall Street Journal.
1. the same as the number of those who have subscriptions to
2. similar to the number who subscribe to
3. equivalent to those who have subscriptions for
4. as much as the number of those who subscribe to
5. as much as are subscribed to
my doubt : i know that "percentage" is un countable and hence "much" can be used for it but i feel that here "ninety-five percent of them" is referring to people ,which in fact is countable so isn't th usage of "as much as" wrong here ?
