This will calculate the percentages for you.  Enter the number in fdisk followed by the percent symbol "%" (without the ")

Good luck

    Do your own math. It is simple. Divide the partition size by the total disk size. The answer will come out a decimal fraction. Move the decimal 2 places to the right and you have percentage.
