The calculation is based on the total percentages when the event occurs, which includes the food you ate that triggers the event. You can't see this, just the percentages before the event and the food you eat. If you have, for example, 9 INT + 1 DEX event built up so far and eat a 2 INT/2 DEX food, it's actually 11 + 3, so more like 21%. Depending on your eating order, the percentage chances may actually be higher than what you expect.
Hope that helps a bit more.
