Depends on what you mean. If it's like 6 apples, 8 oranges, and 3 bananas find the percentage of fruits that are apples/bananas/oranges, you just do this (assume you round to the nearest percent)

 

(apples/total fruit)x100         (oranges/total fruit)x100            (bananas/total fruit)x100

 (6/17)x100                              (8/17)x100                                 (3/17)x100

  (.3529...)x100                           (.4705...)x100                         (.1764...)x100

   35.29...%                                    47.05...%                              17.64...%

    35%                                             47%                                      18%

 

35% of the fruits are apples.   47% of the fruits are oranges         18% of the fruits are bananas
