Help with counting the number of characters in a file and the percentages of the numbers used

I have this code that tells you the numbers of words in a file, number of lines, and each letter and how many times it was used. but I also need to know the percentage each letter was used. I also need it to tell me the number of times numbers 0-9, punctuation ! ? , . : ; ' " and symbols @#$%&*()+=/<> were used in the file

percentage each letter was used = (how many times letter was encountered / letters total) * 100%
how do i find the total number of characters?

The same way you find amount of each letter.
