How to put share in percentage?

Total share is calculated by adding up each shareholder's share number. Example: your share is 60, your spouse's share is 40. Then total shares = 60 + 40 = 100. In this case, you hold 60% and spouse holds 40%. If more than one shareholder and you want to assign in percentage, make total share number as 100.
