How to turn input number into a percentage in python

Question

print ("How much does your meal cost")

meal = 0
tip = 0
tax = 0.0675

action = input( "Type amount of meal ")

if action.isdigit():
    meal = (action)
    print (meal)

tips = input(" type the perentage of tip you want to give ")


if tips.isdigit():
    tip = tips 
    print(tip)

I have written this but I do not know how to get

print(tip)

to be a percentage when someone types a number in.

Answer 1

>>> "{:.1%}".format(0.88)
'88.0%'

Answer 2

Based on your usage of input() rather than raw_input(), I assume you are using python3.

You just need to convert the user input into a floating point number, and divide by 100.

print ("How much does your meal cost")

meal = 0
tip = 0
tax = 0.0675

action = input( "Type amount of meal ")

if action.isdigit():
    meal = float(action)

tips = input(" type the perentage of tip you want to give ")

if tips.isdigit():
    tip = float(tips)  / 100 * meal
    print(tip)

Answer 3

It will be

print "Tip = %.2f%%" % (100*float(tip)/meal)

The end %% prints the percent sign. The number (100*float(tip)/meal) is what you are looking for.
