    Default Question about Equity and using it to call on the flop

    I've watched videos about Equity Final-calls and am confused on if we can use the Required Equity formula for the flop?

    Hero holds Ad,Kc

    Villain has stats 43/28/12 , Hero raises $.0.06 pre-flop from UTG and Villain calls on BU ( this is just an example).

    Flop comes : 5s,3d,3h (pot: $0.15)

    We input villains range into the Flopzilla and we are ahead of his range 77% of the time.
    Our hand equity is 63.8% compared to his ranges Equity of 36.1%

    I don't want to C-bet because we have nothing to bet for value and villain most likely isn't folding on the flop, but do we check call because we are ahead most of the time, can we use the equity calculation for final calls on the flop or does it not work that way that's where I'm confused.

    we check and Villain bets $0.10
    $0.25:$0.10= 2:1 pot odds

    $0.10/ ($0.25+$0.10)
    $0.10/$0.35= 29% Required Equity and we have 77% Equity so we can call and see a turn to evaluate the next street?

    ( Edit* I forgot to discount some pocket pairs from his 3-betting range so our equity would be in the 60s but the question still stands )
