A is a 1 in 800 chance

B is 1 in 70,000

70,000/800=875


It's 87.5 times more likely




ETA:sorry, typo

ETA 2: Derp. I missed a zero. Placebeaux is right. Mea culpa. I haven't done math in a long long time

I'm trying to say "A is __x___ times more likely to happen than B." and I'm still drunk from last night.
