Default Making Sure I understand Poy Odds completely. (help)

lol, I misspelled pot.

I am bad at math. So thats why I am making this post to make absolutely sure I have Pot odds right.

say I have

the flop is


my chances of of making a flush (the best hand in this situation i believe) are:
34% roughly? outs=8 (x2 b/c of the turn and the river) outsx2+2=34%

say theres 20 cents in the pot already, somone bets 2 cents, and somone else raises them to 4 cents. the very least the pot could be is 26 cents (assuming no other players) and I have to call 4 cents which would be roughly 15% right?

therefore i should call because the ratio of the pot to the bet is a lower percentage than my percent chance that i will hit my flush. Am I correct?

questions: how do i take 4th and 5th street into consideration? I was thinking maybe the original chances of making a flush should be higher, since I have 2 chances to hit 8 outs making my outs actually around 16, therefore making the original chances of my hitting the flush actually be 35%? and therefore justifying a bigger bet.

also: does this look like a good poker odds chart to use?
