"twice as much" vs. "twice as much again"
Hello,
Could you please suggest whether both following expressions
have the same meaning
(i) twice as much as (200%)
(ii) twice as much again as (200%?)
? My dictionary says that they both refer to 200%. However, the
following expressions make me impugn the translation of (ii)
provided by the dictionary:
(iii) half as much (50%)
(iv) half as much again (150%)
According to (iv), (ii) should mean 300%. Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.
