You have to calculate from the previous damage reduction amount as a point of reference. Let me give you an example:

Rhino base armor reduces 60% damage. With 100% extra armor, that goes to 75% reduced damage. What you see is 15% less damage... but it is worth so much more.

How you actually have to calculate is that the 60% base is considered as a total. You will never recieve more damage, so this is your absolute base. So you get only 40% actual damage and reduce it by 15%, which means the difference between 40% and 25% is a whooping 37,5% of damage reduction.

So 100% more armor on the Rhino will actualy enhance your effective hipoints by 37,5%. If you have a maxed Vitality mod, that is a serious health buffer.
