BACKGROUND: If you've followed lecture, you already know almost everything there is about arrays. Now you need some practice! The following problem appeared several years ago on an exam as a question. (Consequently it should be a short program!) Working completely alone (although you can ask the instructor questions, as always), see if you understand arrays well enough to do it.
TASK:   Write a complete C++ program to solve the following problem.

        PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:  An unknown number of integers, but no
        more than 25, are to be read from the file exam.dat.
        (Yes, this means you have to open that file.)  Calculate
        and output their sum.  Next output, one entry per line, each
        number and its percentage of the sum.  Line these up in columns.
        The first column should be 10 characters wide; the second column
        should be 7 characters wide, not including the percent sign.
        The percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth.  See
        sample output below.

        PROGRAM INTERNALS:  Since the program is so short, you do not
        need to define any functions other than main().  You may
        assume the input data is error-free and need not be checked for
        correctness.  The input data file is to be read only once; you
        are NOT allowed to open the input file a second time NOR in some
        way rewind the input file. Output is to standard output (stdout).

        SAMPLE OUTPUT:
        Sum Equals:    200
       
                45   22.5%
                 5    2.5%
                30   15.0%
                20   10.0%
               100   50.0%
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES: Use as your source file name "percentage.cpp". Use as your executable file name "ola204". Do not forget to use the standard style conventions; that is, to comment, indent, and use mnemonic names appropriately. When you are ready to test run your program, symbolically link the file $PUB/percentage.dat to your account as exam.dat and use it.

        $ cd ~/OLA/ola204
        $ ln -s $PUB/percentage.dat exam.dat
REQUIRED: You are to electronically submit the source program. Once you have a working program, the following UNIX commands will do what is required:

        $ cd ~/OLA/ola204
        $ handin "ola204" percentage.cpp

What I have tried:

I have tried using this code 
<pre>#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

//Main function
int main()
{
    int cnt=0, i, sum=0;
    int arr[25];

    //Opening file in read mode
    fstream fin("exam.dat", ios::in);

    //Iterating over file data
    while(fin.good())
    {
        //Reading a number
        fin >> arr[cnt];

        //Accumulating sum
        sum = sum + arr[cnt];

        //Incrementing count
        cnt++;
    }

    //Closing file
    fin.close();

    //Printing sum
    cout << "\n Sum Equals: " << sum << " \n";

    //Set precision to 1
    cout << fixed << setprecision(1);

    //Iterating over array
    for(i=0; i<cnt; i++)
="" {
="" printing="" a="" line="" of="" result
="" cout="" <<="" "\n="" "="" right="" setw(10)="" arr[i]="" setw(7)="" ((arr[i]="" (double)sum)="" *="" 100.0)="" %";
="" }

="" "\n\n";
="" return="" 0;
}
but="" it="" still="" was="" not="" giving="" me="" the="" out="" put="" like="" sample="" output.

    ifstream myfile;
    myfile.open("eam.dat");
    if (myfile.is_open())
    {
        while (myfile >> numbers[i])

            i++;

    }
    else

        cout << "Unable to open file";
    }

    // find the sum of the numbers
    int sum = 0;

What is the problem, then (excluding code-formatting, of course)?

it not showing the right percentage... it just showed this ouptut to me

110 0.0 %
220 0.0 %
330 0.0 %
440 0.0 %
550 0.0 %
6 0.0 %
4 0.0 %
2966 0.0 %
4000 0.0 %
1374 0.0 %
870780922 100.0 %

You have an erroneous value at the end of your list - eg 870780922 You'll have to take a look at your data file and see what's going on with it - otherwise your code works fine.
