Model the problem using a tree:
Since there are 100 programmers in the company, 20% of them over 200 pounds is simply 20 programmers.
Out of the 80 remaining programmers under 200 pounds, 25%, or 20 programmers, are under 100 pounds. That leaves 60 programmers in the 100–200 pound range. The percentage of 60 programmers out of a total of 100 is simply 60%.
