Aleeki, it's much easier to just use ratios instead of %, makes the math much easier when you are playing.  Here's a chart to check out you should try to memorize some of the ones like 8 outs (open ended str8 draw), 9 outs (flush draw), 4 outs (gutshot).

Now using your last example where you have J 10.  Pot is $60 and he's all in for $25, so you're pot odds are 3.4:1.  You have 8 outs for the straight plus two overcards.  Jack or a ten might be an out but they might not if he has a set or overpair.  But if he has Ace 9 or King 9 then they are outs.  So this is where it gets tricky because you have to make an educated guess, I'd count them as another 3 outs.  So 8 + 3 is 11 outs total.  If you look at that chart, odds against you hitting one of your outs on both the turn and river (since you get to see both by calling because he's all in) is 1.4:1, so you have to be getting better than 1.4:1 pot odds so easy call.
