I searched and could not find this answer...
If I have this, how can I get it to display the final % symbol? It just omits it in my label.
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Tries %i%", tries];

You have to use the escaping symbol '\' [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Tries %i%%", tries]; – Aleks Nov 07 '11 at 21:58

I thought I could contribute a bit and share this comprehensive list of options. Jesse is right!
In my case, the following does the trick!
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Progress: %.2f%%", progress*100]
// progress is float ranging 0.0-1.0,
//and I would like it to print up to 2 decimal point
Happy coding!
