Something like this?

sysuse auto,clear
levelsof rep, local(levels)
foreach l of local levels {
	qui count  if fore == 1 & rep == `l'
	local n = r(N)
	qui count if  rep == `l'
	local d = r(N)
	local mytext "`mytext' 5 `l'   "`n'/`d'"  "
}
egen percent = mean(100 * foreign), by(rep78)
egen total = sum(1), by(rep78)

twoway bar percent rep78,barw(0.5) text(`mytext', box bc(white)  )
ylabel(,angle(h)) ytitle(Percent Foreign)
