How to automate the RYG status balls

I need help to automate the RYG status balls in the "Status" column, depending on the "% Complete" for each request.


This is my formula but it kept showing "Red" though I have % Complete is 75% and 100%

=IF([% Complete]@row < 70, "Red", IF([% Complete]@row > 70, "Yellow", IF([% Complete]@row = 100, "Green")))


Requirement:

If a request is less than 70% complete, turn the "Status" column into a "Red" status ball

If a request is 70% or above and less than 100% complete, turn the "Status" column into a "Yellow" status ball

If a request is 100% complete, turn the "Status" column into a "Green" status ball"
