I mean... 0.05263 --> 5.26% Here is one way In[6]:= ToString[NumberForm[0.05263 100, 3]] <> "%" Out[6]= 5.26% Note, this will not display all values to an accuracy of 0.01% since it only retains 3 significant digits. Another method would be: In[7]:= ToString[Round[0.05263 100, .01]] <> "%" Out[7]= 5.26% which will display all values to an accuracy of 0.01%.
