Given what's known, the universe is madeup of what three "things" or "components"? Can you tell the % of each?

The question is kind of ambiguous, but I'll go out on a limb here to guess what you're gettting at. I'll say:
5% luminous (ordinary) matter
25% dark matter
70% dark energy
...give or take a few percentage points. Dark matter is inferred from the gravitational behavior of galaxies, which apparently are more massive than they appear. Dark energy is the name given to whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate, as though there is gravitational repulsion on large scales.
