Default Conditional Formatting based on top values

In CF, use Formula Is
=PERCENTRANK($A$2:$A$11,A2)=70%
if A2:A11 is your array.

Hello--

I have an array of values (below). I'd like to do a conditional format to
highlight those values that comprise the top 30% of the sum.

I know I'd probably use a formula in the conditional formatting but not
sure
where to go from there. I'm using Excel 2003.

73 3 4 4 47
16 8 1
27 46 7
172 210 21 44
