What is the formula to calculate percentages in a row?

I don’t understand anything about Maths and I’m curious to know what is the formula used to calculate the percentage of a percentage in a row. Confused?Example: I found 5 ‘10% Scrafty’ in a row at Route 15. What is the percentage of that happen?

Because I think that if I find 2 ‘50% Pokémon’ in the grass, it will be 50% + 50% but that is 100%… Doesn’t make sense :c

This is a measure of probability rather than percentages. First remember that probability can be expressed in 2 ways - in a percentage form (10% chance) or in a fraction form (1/10 chance). Percentages can also be expressed as a decimal

Wha do I mean you ask?10% = 1/10 = 0.1100% = 10/10= 1

Remember fraction rules - it doesn’t actually need to be 10/10 or 1/10, it can be 2/20 which simplifies into 1/10.

To convert a fraction into a Percentage, multiply it by 100. So let’s say, you want to convert 41/50 to a fraction form. Multiply it by 100 = 82. Therefore, it’s 82%. Similarly, to convert a percentage to a fraction, divide by 100.

So let’s say, you have a Pokemon that has a 50% chance of popping up.You agree, 50% = 1/2 right?So if you get 50% twice= 1/2 x 1/2= 1/4You agree 1/4 = 25% yes?

So basically you have a 25% chance.

Here’s a real life example if you don’t really understandYou have a coin. You flip it twice.The first time you could get Heads or TailsThe second time you could get Heads or Tails again.How many possible combinations are there?Well, you could get Heads, then Heads again, or Heads then Tails, or Tails then Heads or Tails then Tails. So there are 4 possibilities.What is the chance of getting Heads both times?You have 4 possibilities, and only 1 of them works. So that’s 1/4 chance that you’ll get 2 heads in a row. Multiply that by 100, = 25% chance.

For future reference, just ask on my wall or something if you want other help.
