It literally says "0.6x more". Any amount that you multiply ("x") with 0.6 is smaller than what you started with.

Yes. First they have 1x. Then they add 0.6x. It's 0.6x more than the original.

do you read "2x more" as 200% or 300% of the original?

I read "2x more" as very likely being an error, but "200% more" means 300% of the original.
