"A" has twice as many as "B" ?

Hi Dear Friends;

What does this sentence mean?
"A" has something twice as many as "B" has.
A=2B or B=2A... I really don't understand what this sentence means and how can I use this structure?

Thanks

I saw a lot of these structure in GRE exam, and of course it's absolutely hard to understand what a question is trying to say.

"A" has something twice as many as "B" has.

That is not English. I'd bet all the money in my pocket that it was really "A has twice as many of something as B has." (2B=A) It really does matter what words are in what order.
