It has been said, or copied from http://ifunny.co/fun/SiQ7PlRR3 rather, that if...
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
equals...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
then...
K + N + O + W + L + E + D + G + E
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%
H + A + R + D + W + O + R + K
8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98%
Both are important, but fall just short of 100%, but...
A + T + T + I + T + U + D + E
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%
The program will take as its input a string containing only letters and will output the sum of the alphabet values as listed above.
Test cases
LAZINESS
==> 105
NEGATIVITY
==> 132
PROCRASTINATION
==> 192
SELLING YOUR SOUL TO SATAN
==> 314
This is code golf, so the shortest program in bytes wins.

1Is this [tag:code-golf] or what ? – Paul R – 2015-12-01T16:12:50.563
1Why is it a percentage? Isn't the end result just the sum of the values? – Brian – 2015-12-01T16:19:45.387
