I don't understand your question, but to select three percent of a table use :
SELECT TOP 3 PERCENT id, Name, Percent FROM TableName

Yes, You can use ORDER BY PERCENT in addition to Eduard's answer, if you want to sort to get the percentage in order. What else you are thinking of?

Try this:

select  *
from    MyTable a
where   (select count(distinct [Percent]) from MyTable where [Percent]>=a.[Percent])<=3
