Calculating percentage of columns

Hi I have the following in a file.
----------------------
278 __fwalk
58 __localeconv_r
74 _localeconv
----------------------

I want to have the sum of the first column, say the value for ex. sum.

and then want to calculate the percentage for each value for first column.

like 278/sum*100, then fimaly print in the following way for ex.

----------------------
80__fwalk
9 __localeconv_r
11 _localeconv
----------------------
Here 80, 9, 11 are the percentage values.

How can we write the script for the same ?
