Myra,

 All you need to do is add a format to your PUT statements.  See the example
below.  You did not specify in your example how you would like to display the
percents.  For example, if the percent is a whole percent (like 26), do you
want to display this as 26 or as 26.00.  If you do not want to see all percents
to 2 decimal places then you will need to do some additional work.

data a;
  input x y;
  cards;
2      3.12
2.1    3
2.12   3.1
26     36.3
26.1   36.34
26.12  36
2      32.12
2.1    32
2.12   32.1

run;

data _null_;
  set a;
  put @5 x 6.2 + 1 '%' @20 y 6.2 +1 '%';
run;
