Add all the numbers together.
135,010 + 53,230 + 24,902 + 11,204 + 9,364 = 233,710
Then divide each number by 233,710 and multiply by 100 to get the percent.
For example, the first one would be
135010/233710 = .57768
.57768 * 100 = 57.768

If I am understanding you right, which I may not be, you should add up the total amount of firms, then, for each category, divide the number of firms by the total.
Ex. for 2 or fewer it would be 135,010/total number of firms to get a decimal, which you multiply by 100 to get the percent. Is that what you were looking for?

Sorry, thought I understood, but no, I don't.
