here is one conflict between the reasoning stated by Kaplan and GMAT. Kaplan says use "greater than" for numbers alone and use "more than" for rest of the cases. But this does not hold true in many of the cases. 1. If you are talking about an increase in single statistics then use "grater than". 2. If you are counting things and not referring to "the number" or "the population" or any other single statistics then use "more than". HTH
