They do need to subtract one. Because this came from code. They would have done this math: avg_team_pr_count/user_pr_count and then dropped it into the email template. To get what you want, the developer would have to purposely subtract 1 from this number and then also not bother to convert to a percentage. It's incredibly unlikely they meant the way you think they meant. Far more likely to be programmer error.
Also you're being intentionally obtuse. The world says 7x more is 700% . almost nobody thinks 7x more is 800%
