Default How do I express the following calculation.

I have a spreadsheet in which I want to express a value as a % - here the
challenge!

My total is 200, and my value is 50 - I can easily express this as a
percentage by the following "=(E7/E6)" and formatting this as a %.

However there is another variable - I have 4 such calculations, and the
answers I want to express as a percentage themselves - let me explain:

Calc1 is 200 / 50 gives 25%
Calc2 is 100/ 75 = 75%
Calc3 is 50 / 25 = 50%
Calc4 is 500 / 50 = 10%

Each of these totals represnenst a fraction of a total [ 50% 20% 20% % 10% ]

Therefore, Calc1 = 12.5%, Calc2 = 12%, Calc3 = 25%, Calc4 = 1% - the result
is therefore 50.5%.
