They're just examples - there were no actual numbers in the article, only dates and percentage increases

In your example you have 500% inflation from F22 - M22. Then 4xx% deflation M22 to F23. Then almost 500% inflation again. Although they technically fit the headline, the narrative won’t be the same, as you likely have currency instability. More accurate numbers would be
Feb 2022 = $100 Mar 2022 = $100 Feb 2023 = $115 Mar 2023 = $115.4
What they’re not showing, is January numbers, which hypothetically could look like
Jan 2022 = $100 Jan 2023 = $110
Adding that, you can see the rate of change YoY being 10%, 15%, 15.4%.
Not sure if that helps you visualize it better.
