VAR : does anybody have a clue?

This is what I am trying to do:

SQL> var x number -- declare a variable named x

Now, what I want to do is assign:
select sum(bytes) from v$sgastat INTO x

to be used as follows:

SELECT name, bytes, bytes/x FROM v$sgastat;

bytes/x would give me the percent of the sga devoted to that particular sga component in the third column.

Does anybody know the CORRECT way to do this?

Thanks
