The pie graph shows how the price of every course should be shared, measured in percentages. Overall the numbers are not that different for each part. Individual has the most percentage at 40%, followed by employer at 35%, and taxpayer has the least percentage at 25%.
Although I know we usually use high/low with percentages, I'm still curious whether more/less with percentages are also acceptable??

In the given context, most-least seems more appropriate, though.

You mean we do say, a has more percentage than b, but don't say, a has the most percentage, right? @Kris

As a native BrE speaker, I'd use "biggest percentage" and "smallest percentage".
