Can anyone explain how this perk does in formula?

I try figure it by myself with medkit 24c and assume that 25% decrease consumption should make charge usage be 0.75c/s(from 1c/s) it'll cost 12c(0.75[provide 1c of healing]*16) for healing 1 state, but it fully deplete on second heal at 6/7 of the bar.

    It means that for every 1.25 charges of healing progress, you will use 1 charge of your medkit.

    So a full heal (16 charges) only takes 12.8 charges, instead of 16. So a yellow medkit (24 charges) with Streetwise is almost enough for 2 heals, but not quite. (16 / 1.25 = 12.8)

    Old Botany (which was 33%) with a yellow medkit gave you exactly enough for 2 heals, because it was 1.3333 charges of healing for every 1 charge of your medkit, so a full heal was only 12 charges. Now it's 0.8 charges of healing (with its -20% penalty) for 1 charge of your medkit, meaning a heal with Botany takes 20 charges total. (16 / 0.8 = 20)

    If you run Streetwise with new Botany, they offset each other perfectly. The item efficiency is raised to 1.25 with Streetwise, and Botany then takes off 20% of 1.25 (not 20% of 1), bringing it back down to 1 (which is normal efficiency).

    I just used medkits for this example, but you can apply the same formula to other items too (eg. 1.25 charges of generator progress = 1 charge of your toolbox).
