How much faster's the 100% mount than the 60%?

If your base speed is 1, then on 60% your speed is 1.6 and on 100% your speed is 2.
1.6 times x = 2
x = 2/1.6
x = 1.25
Am I dum?

Are you saying it's 25% faster, or 1.25x as fast?

I don't believe there's any sort of diacritical modifier that would give you a vinculum, but many editors support "overline" formatting in addition to "underline" (but predictably not this forum).
(BONUS TRIVIA: I once got laughed at by my math class in elementary-school for referring to that by its appropriate name.)

Due to the question’s ambiguity, we have two possible solutions.
The mount is 67% faster.
The player would go 25% faster by comparison.
Reasons provided by the aforementioned scholars @Crystalpall & @melabeari
Also, x = +/- ∞
