Answer 1

You can use the "P" format string to add the percent sign. You can create another property to wrap it or just get Percentage and then call ToString.

public decimal Percentage { get; set; }

public string FormattedPercentage 
{ 
    get { return Percentage.ToString("P"); }
}

Answer 2

Just multiply it by 100.

<%= myObject.Percentage * 100 %>

You can round it to a smaller number of decimal places:

<%= Math.Round(myObject.Percentage * 100, 3) %>

Another way:

<%= string.Format("Percentage is {0:0.0%}", myObject.Percentage) %>
