You mean 240,000 is the sum of 150,000 + 50,000 + 15,000 + 25,000. Yes?
Let's call your four numbers a, b, c, and d.
Let's call the total T.
The percent of T represented by a is (a/T) * 100
The percent of T represented by b is (b/T) * 100
The percent of T represented by c is (c/T) * 100
The percent of T represented by d is (d/T) * 100
For example,
(15,000/240,000) * 100 = (15/240) * 100 = (1/16) * 100
= 6.125%
Does that answer your question?

Your question is not at all clear, but to turn anything into a percentage you simply need to make it into hundredths. To do this first calculate it as a fraction, then convert it to a decimal and then multiply by 100.
For example 33 marks out of 60 in an exam converted to a percentage is:
33 divided by 60 multiply by 100
33/60 = 0.55
0.55 X 100 = 55
33/60 = 55%
OK now I see what you are doing.
150,000 divide by 240,000 multiply by 100 is the first - follow that pattern for the others - take the number and divide by the total then multiply by 100 - you have the percentage.

1. 15/24 times 100 =
2. 5 /24 times 100 =
3. 1.5/24 times 100 =
4. 2.5/24 times 100 =

Add the #s together, and then divide each one by the total: the part after "0." for each answer will be the %.

You've got 5 numbers there. Add them all together and divide by 5 - you will then have the average.
