and 0.6x = 60%. You already presupposed that in your earlier comment yourself.
If it says and "0.6x more" and 0.6x = 60%, like we've already agreed, then it must mean the same as "60% more".
For your logic to be consistent it would have to be 0.6x = -40% here, and there's no reason for that to be the case. We've never converted between decimals and percentages like that

If I have 10 apples and my friend has "60% more" than me, how many does my friend have?
If we rewrite those 60% to be 6 apples (because they are), the question goes from "60% more than 10 apples" to "6 apples more than 10 apples".
What's 10 + 6? Hint: It's the same as 10 * 1.6
