Button stealing math question

My default open on the button is 2.4x - in my hud i have SB and BB fold to button steal. Question i have is how do i use these stats to accurately calculate if stealing a2c is profitable in a vacuum. I understand that peopole will adjust / play differently if i open a2c all the time / if there a fish in pot or we are deeper ect, but just as a default calulation would like to know. 

Someone told me that if for example SB folds 64% and BB folds 50% ot would be (0.64*0.5)*100  - is that correct? 

Thanks in advance for any help. Also any good vids on this kinda stuff on rio you guys may know of?

The example you wrote down here is correct I think. usually I use BB fold to steal*SB fold to steal=the avg fold%

If you in BTN, 2.4X open is a little too much, 2X is good, because 2x you need 57% fold%, and 2.4X needs 62.5% F%, 3X needs 66% F%

Hope this can help you, if you have any idea about this just let me know. We can discuss.

thnaks man, reason i use that sizing is bc after lots of analysis of hundreds of millions of hands played by regs someone i know found that people tend to do pretty well vs a min open, and not defend enough / win vs a slightly larger one, also 2.4 doesnt get recorded in peoples notecaddy stuff, bc they have it setup to record 3x or 2.5x or min opens, hence i use that (2.4x) sizing
