When I'm trying to make the percentage value as mentioned in the video, I'm getting the first one right but the others are wrong..... What to do now?

If you get the first one right but not the rest, I would first check to see if you have used an absolute reference ("$") where you might have needed a normal one, or used a normal one where you needed an absolute one.
Either way, the first item might be right, but when you replicate the formula down the column the others would be computing the wrong thing.
