To work this out you need the formula of the compound and your Periodic Table to tell you the relative atomic masses of each element.
First add up all the relative atomic masses to get the relative formula mass. Then for each element in turn, take its relative Atomic Mass (multiplying up if there is more than one of it in the formula) and divide by the relative formula mass, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
I'm not going to give you the answer - partly because then you'll never practise doing it for yourself, and partly because I wonder if you meant magnesium permanaganate, or the more usual school compound of potassium permanganate, KMnO4.
Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) has a higher percentage composition of magnesium than magnesium oxide (MgO) does. The percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium nitride is 72.2% and the percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium oxide is 60.3%.

Can you be more specific? Percent composition is usually the percent of an element in a compound.
Percent composition is a calculation of how much of the molecular weight of a compound is due to a particular element within that compound. For Al(CN)3, the percent composition of aluminum would be 27 / (27 +[12 x 3] + [14 x 3]) = 25.7%
No *mineral* accounts for that much of Earth's composition, though the *element* iron makes up 32-35% of the mass of Earth
60%
no 1 cares
It depends on what it is part of.
Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) has a higher percentage composition of magnesium than magnesium oxide (MgO) does. The percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium nitride is 72.2% and the percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium oxide is 60.3%.

This is the percent chemical composition.
You take the mass and divide it by the total mass of the element. Magnesium by itself is 100%.
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
Beryllium is a monoisotopic chemical element.
The percent composition by element of Ca(C2H3O2)2 is calcium 25.339%, hydrogen 3.824%, carbon 30.375%, and oxygen 40.462%.
