“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”. 

If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%. 

if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%. 

If your chances have “increased” by 80%, this means you have an additional amount added to your initial “value” (or chance), prior to the increase.

Essentially, you’re adding 80% of what your current chances are, to said value.

This process could be compared to discounted items from the original price of an item - only, this time, it’s addition, and not subtraction.

Let’s refer to one of the percentage examples given by the OP.

Example 1:

Your initial chance of an event occurring was 10%. An 80% increase would result in your chance now being 18%.

How?

Take 80% of your initial value. So, we multiply 80% to 10%

80% x 10% = 0.80 x 0.10 = 0.08

Add this calculated percentage value to your initial percentage for your final value.

(0.08 + 0.10) x 100% = 8% + 10% = 18%

Example: Comparable Scenario - Discounts

Find the discounted price of an item originally valued at $80 with a 30% discount.

First, take 30% of your initial item cost.

30% x $80 = $24

Meaning, our discount would give us $24 off the original value.

Now, subtract this value ($24) from the initial item cost ($80) to get your discounted price.

$80 - $24 = $56
