Trinkets - percentages

Let's say that you have the following probabilities without any trinkets: Nothing - 25% Energy - 10% Mana - 15% Power - 20% Gold - 30% For a total of 100% (I know there are puzzle pieces and quest items, I am just trying to make this simple.) So, I add a trinket that gives me 200 or 10% at the level I am of energy. My question is do I now have: Nothing 25% Energy 11% Mana 15% Power 20% Gold 30% Making a total of 101% (which isn't really a percent) or do I have Nothing 24.725% Energy 11% Mana 14.835% Power 19.78% Gold 29.67% My brain hurts...

Example: let's say the reduction of receiving nothing is 2%. It will be like that Nothing - 23% Energy - 10.5% Mana - 15.5% Power - 20.5% Gold - 30.5% or like that? Nothing - 23% Energy - 10.27% Mana - 15.4% Power - 20.53% Gold - 30.8%

I have my pet at level 20 with a total Nothings reduction overall of close to 20% and I still get a whole lot of nothings when I multiply something. Its 20% of some base that in itself is almost nothing so there is almost no improvement. Knowing some miniscule number is not going to make it hurt less.

Your second theory is the correct one, Luca, it would work out like so: Nothing - 23% Energy - 10.27% Mana - 15.4% Power - 20.53% Gold - 30.8%
