Questions about percents in English

Hello everyone,
I have a question:

In English, when talking about percentages, can we say:
- Group 1 *comprises* 30% of all participants
- Group 2 *is* 20% of all the participants
- Group 3 *makes* 20% of all participants
- The rest of participants form Group 4... ?
Sentences 1 to 4 are comprised of good English.
Are the above sentences correct?
Thank you in advance.

Jan, thank you! Greg, thanks! In Group 4, it's not a typo, I meant "form", like in "we formed a big team". And one last question please? Would "take ...%" be okay too? E.g.: additional 5 participants *take* 3 more percent.

For 'Group 3', I would say, "Group 3 *makes UP* 20%..." And typo in the last sentence, "...participants fROm Group 4".
