I'm not sure if i understand your problem, but how about:

test=*# select * from percentile ;
id | value
----+-------
1 | 10
2 | 20
3 | 30
4 | 50
(4 rows)

test=*# select a.id, a.value, (a.value*100/foo.summe)::numeric(10,2)
from percentile a, (select sum(value) as summe from percentile ) as foo
group by a.id, a.value, foo.summe order by id;
id | value | numeric
----+-------+---------
1 | 10 | 9.00
2 | 20 | 18.00
3 | 30 | 27.00
4 | 50 | 45.00
(4 rows)
