Does this work?
counts = {25, 10, 14, 10, 13, 12, 3, 6, 10, 8, 68};
papers = Plus @@ counts;
pcts = 100. counts/papers;
grades = {"A ", "A-", "B+", "B ", "B-", "C+", "C ", "C-", "D+", "D ",
"F "};
TableForm[Transpose[
{grades, NumberForm[#, 3, NumberPadding -> {" ", ""}] & /@ counts,
NumberForm[#, {4, 1}, NumberPadding -> {" ", "0"}] & /@ pcts}],
TableHeadings -> {None, {"Grade", "Number", "Per Cent"}}]
I think the non-obvious tricks are the space as the first argument to
NumberPadding to produce right-alignment, and the "0" as the second
argument to pad with zeros on the right.
