It seems that on 1/2 of the practice tests, there is a question that will saying something like "...there were x% in 81 which was double the figure in 71..."

How do we determine between answers like 'twice as much, 'twice as many,' 'double what it was,' 'double the figure,' 'double the number,' etc etc. I think the first step would be to determine which to use (ie double or twice), since typically 1/2 of the choices will have one and the other half will have the other.

Is there a simple solution to this?
