Fact-check: There’s no such thing as a 600% price decrease
PolitiFact debunks RFK Jr.’s claim that discounting a price can yield a 600% decrease, explaining the math is standard: a drop from $600 to $10 is 590/600 = 98.3% decrease, and the maximum price decrease is 100%. The statement is rated Pants on Fire, with experts noting no valid method yields more than a 100% decrease.
