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"...
Furthermore when to use "greater" and when to use "more"
Thanks...

I think "higher than" is used for numerical values (like sales, payment, rates, etc.) or when we are comparing the numerical value even though the numerical value is not given. For ex. Sales of company X is higher than those of Y.
In the sentence above, infact we know the exact figure of sales.
whereas " more than" is used when we do not know the numerical value. For ex. stress level is more in X than Y.
make sense??
