You cannot do this with Org percentage cookies, but you can do it
by using a dedicated property.  The property for each entry would
contain a percentage value, then the column sum can display a formula
of your own.

See the manual and this turorial
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-column-view-tutorial.html
for a start.
