I need to have the display window have a "%" after the rest of my printing.
My code looks likes this:
fprintf('Percent Error: %0.8f %', percentError);
It is currently printing "Percent Error: 0.03696863 ", but I need it to print "Percent Error: 0.03696863%"

The fprintf documentation explains how to define special characters, in the table entitled Special Character it shows:
Special Character Representation
Single quotation mark ''
Percent character %%

Usage of char or '%' is possible.
fprintf('Percent Error: %0.8f %s', percentError,char(37));
or
fprintf('Percent Error: %0.8f %s', percentError,'%');
