Sir, try
SELECT e.EmployeeID, Sum(s.SubTotal) AS sum_st
FROM Employees AS e INNER JOIN Sales AS s
ON e.EmployeeID = s.EmployeeID
GROUP BY e.EmployeeID
ORDER BY sum_st;

More or less. LIMIT can't return a percentage of the rows, and TOP
can't return a specified count of rows starting at some arbitrary row.
