if you mean 20 , 30, and 40 percent of 80 and 1/4, 2/3, and 1/6 of 72, then you have:
20=20%2F100=1%2F5
30 percent= 30%2F100=3%2F10
40 percent= 40%2F100=2%2F5

of 80:



and

OR, simply add percentage first: 20%2B30%2B40=90 percent and find 90 present of 80:
%2890%2F100%2980=%289%2F10%2980=%289%2A80%2F10%29=%289%2A40%2F5%29=360%2F5=72
