The final calculation is easy 56.25/(56.25 + 6.25) = 90%, unless the persons skills change between rounds or something.

Yeah, thought so as well, interesting how easily those numbers worked out, but then again it's because 75/25=3 and 3x3 = 9 so the final difference must be 9x between the probabilities or 100 / (9 + 1).

I was still lucky with the numbers as for example with 80% vs 20% it would've been 4x4=16 and so 1 to 16 comes to 100 / 17.
