Default Re: Question about odds vs. percentages, inspired by Arieh

Add the numbers together and then divide 100 by that number then multiply this number by the number after the word to.

EG. 3 to 1 . 3 + 1 = 4. 100/4 = 25 . 25 * 1 = 25%

EG. 5 to 2 . 5 + 2 = 7 . 100/7 = 14.2 (approx) . 14.2 times 2 = 28.2 .
