agree  Rachel Douglas: Yes, but it would have been nice to explain how it should work: "Demand for X was double the available supply." If the context doesn't lend itself to that, then Judith's formulation might be more versatile.

neutral  Rachel Douglas: Formally correct, but Maria's and Judi's suggestions are more idiomatic. Often "by a factor of" is the only solution when expressing a "less than" relationship, but for "greater than," there are more comfortable ways to skin the cat.
