How to represent percentage values in Matlab App Designer

Is there any easy way to represent percentage values in Matlab App Designer? For example, in excel we can type 8% and it will represent 0.08. I am making a basic calculator and have no idea how to get it to work.

Edit: this is what I have for the percentage button:

app.BResultado.Value=sprintf(‘%.0f%%’),app.BResultado.Value*100);

But when I press let’s say 7. Instead of 0.07 I get 5500%

Consider the differences in the following commands:

val = '7'

val = '7'

sprintf('%.0f%%',val*100)

ans = '5500%'

sprintf('%.0f%%',str2double(val)*100)

ans = '700%'

sprintf('%.0f%%',str2double(val)/100)

ans = '0%'

sprintf('%0.2f%%',str2double(val)/100)

ans = '0.07%'

sprintf('%0.2f',str2double(val)/100)

ans = '0.07'

Should the result be '0.07' or '700%' (because your code suggests '700%' but your description of the problem suggests '0.07')? You can pick the command that does the right thing.
