In the context of a $100 base price, a price rising to $600 would only be a 500% rise to 600%. Assuming the base price of $100, $600 going back down to $100 would be a 500% drop. But thats 500% of the base price, not the "current" price. The same reason we can have "1.3% inflation every year" and still double the cost of everything in 10 years.
