How to add percent sign to NSString

I am trying to print red (10.0 %) in Objective-C using the statement:

    $ newlabel1.text= [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"red (%.1f %)",rv];

However, I am getting red(10.0) only, and the % symbol was not printing. How can I make the percentage symbol print?

Answer 1

You should double the percent sign (%%).
