1.25 (25%) number is the percentage factor. 1.20 would be 20%

for example:

300hp @ the wheels x 1.25 (25%) drivetrain loss=375 hp @ the fly

or reverse

375 hp @ the fly/1.25 (25%) drivetrain loss=300hp @ the wheels

The math you are doing here is 300 + (300*.25) = 375

Which is 25% more than 300

And 375/1.25=300

Which is the same as saying 375*(0.8)=300

300 is 20% less than 375. 375 is 25% more than 300.

You are interpreting the results wrong.
