Raising Example Question on Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:30 am

In Annie Duke's book she lays out the following situation:
-You Have T-T UTG and make it 3x
-There are 3 bets in the pot plus the 2 that you will put in because you are 100% playing the hand for a total of 5 chips. You want to put in 4 additional chips as a raise.
-So, you are betting 4 chips to win 5
-The pot is laying you 5-to-4 odds on your raise.
-In order to show a profit at this price, you’d need to win 45% more often by raising than by calling.
My question is: How does she figure the 45% amount? And how would you mathematically figure out your equity here in relation to that 45%?
Thanks!
