60 %

Explanation:

For isobaric process ,total heat energy is expressed as #n Cp dt#
And internal energy as # n Cv dt#
So, internal energy is# (n Cv dt)/(n Cp dt)# times of total energy supplied i.e #(Cv)/(Cp)#
Helium being a monoatomic gas its gamma value is #5/3# = #(Cp)/(Cv) #
Hence, the percentage is #(3/5)*100 #or 60 %
